Amacuzac Mayor Touts 1,000 Beer Trays for Festival, Drawing Scrutiny Over Public Funds

Lack of invoices in the mayor's post triggered demands for formal accounting from the municipality.

Overview

  • The video, filmed at Partido del Trabajo offices, shows Noé Reynoso Nava overseeing pallets of beer he calls refreshments for the January 12 cabalgata and other patronal festivities.
  • Proceso reports the mayor also announced 10 cattle, 10 pigs, and supplies for communal meals, with the overall outlay estimated near 800,000 pesos.
  • Media estimates for the beer alone vary from about 400,000 to 490,000 pesos, and the city has not released receipts or identified the budget line for the purchase.
  • Observers question whether municipal personnel or vehicles moved alcohol to a party facility and whether distributing beer constitutes improper promotion tied to the mayor’s political affiliation.
  • Coverage urges residents to file transparency requests for invoices and contracts and to submit complaints to contralorías or oversight bodies if misuse of public resources is suspected.
