Overview

  • A 40-second video from August 11 shows Nathaly Viridiana Chávez García appearing intoxicated and citing fuero to resist an alcohol breath test in Oaxaca.
  • The Sistema de Información Legislativa and the Constitution specify that parliamentary immunity covers legislative acts but does not bar enforcement in cases of flagrancy.
  • Chávez García issued a video apology on August 12, acknowledging her responsibility and requesting that attacks not be directed at titular Senator Luisa Cortés García.
  • As of August 13, state authorities have not confirmed whether the alcohol-test protocol was completed or if any legal or administrative proceedings have been opened.
  • Coalición Movilidad Segura Oaxaca and media outlets continue to urge a formal investigation and clarification on the application of the flagrancy exception.
