Overview
- Judge Guillermo Lorca issued a 3,906,000‑peso fine, a one‑year driving ban, mandated treatment for three months, and work with Estrella Amarilla after an abbreviated proceeding in which Martín Antolín admitted the offense.
- The UCR Cambia Mendoza bloc formally requested a probe that could lead to Antolín’s removal, filing the motion on Wednesday morning in the San Rafael council.
- Mayor Omar Félix asked him to resign, joining Vice Governor Hebe Casado, the provincial Libertarian Party leadership, and the Cambia Mendoza caucus; Governor Alfredo Cornejo also said he should leave his seat, according to Diario Uno.
- Antolín’s team says he will not resign and plans to address the council session to offer explanations, and he has already paid the court‑ordered fine.
- He was stopped around 1 a.m. at Arístides Villanueva and Tiburcio Benegas driving a BMW without visible plates, recorded 1.15 g/l blood alcohol, and, per the official report, held a wine glass; the car was seized and he was briefly detained.
