New York Times Details Luxury Lifestyles of Morena Figures, Raising Credibility Questions

The report spotlights high-end spending that conflicts with the party’s austerity message.

Overview

  • The Oct. 4 article aggregates cases involving Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, Adán Augusto López Hernández, Mario Delgado, Ricardo Monreal and Gerardo Fernández Noroña.
  • López Beltrán was reported to have spent nearly $2,600 at a Tokyo hotel restaurant during a two-week stay, and he said he used his own money.
  • Adán Augusto confirmed nearly $4.3 million in private income in 2023–2024 from legal work, rents, interest and inheritances.
  • Reports cite Delgado at a luxury hotel in Portugal and Monreal at an expensive restaurant in Spain, with President Claudia Sheinbaum saying officials may vacation with personal funds.
  • The Times said Morena did not respond to a request for comment, and the piece describes voter frustration even as the party remains broadly popular for social programs and government pay cuts.
