Overview

• A video recorded on October 2 shows Kira Alcarraz telling Willax reporter Marycielo del Castillo she would have slammed her against the wall if she were “altered,” later adding the reporter was “still alive” because she was calm.
• The confrontation began when Del Castillo asked about the appointment of Alcarraz’s son’s partner, Diana Alani de la Cruz Flores, to a trusted coordinator role in the legislator’s office.
• Alcarraz defended the hire as permissible under “personal de confianza” rules, saying she can choose candidates while congressional HR reviews them, and she acknowledged proposing the partner for the post.
• Coverage recalls Alcarraz previously admitted hiring a friend of her son, Guillermo Santiago García Campos, as a technician, underscoring concerns about favoritism in her staffing.
• The video’s circulation drew condemnation from journalists and press-freedom advocates, and specialists note the remarks could be reviewed as intimidation with potential complaints and institutional scrutiny expected.
