Morena Deputies Launch Fund for Manuel Espino as He Remains in Intensive Care

The effort reflects steep private-hospital costs driven by the Chamber's lack of major‑medical coverage.

Overview

  • Morena’s caucus unanimously approved a voluntary minimum contribution of 5,000 pesos per deputy, totaling about 1.265 million pesos if all 253 members give.
  • Ricardo Monreal reported that roughly 400,000 pesos had been collected as of yesterday.
  • Espino remains in serious condition in the Médica Sur ICU after a cerebral hemorrhage and emergency surgery in mid‑September.
  • Deputies no longer have major‑medical insurance and rely on ISSSTE, and Espino was taken to a private hospital due to the severity of his condition.
  • Reported medical expenses exceed 4 million pesos, and Monreal invited lawmakers from other parties to join the collection.
