Overview

• Claudio Ochoa Huerta’s August 10 column reported that authorities are investigating Haces as a principal 'facturero' and detailed his July 18 birthday celebration at Madrid’s Rosewood Villa Magna.
• Haces publicly rejected connections to outsourcing schemes in an X post and press communiqué, calling the reports false and defending his transparent, law-abiding record.
• Photographs from the event prompted deputy Ricardo Monreal to revise his account, saying he only attended breakfast and spent about €100.
• Reports say the party banned cellphones and occupied about ten rooms averaging 15,000 pesos a night for nearly 100 guests, drawing scrutiny over Morena’s austerity exhortations.
• Opinion writers have challenged the column’s evidentiary basis and emphasized the need for strict journalistic verification and the constitutional right of reply.
