Overview
- During a semipresential Budget Commission meeting on the General Water Law, Cuauhtémoc Blanco connected from a padel court, asked to mark attendance, failed to state his vote, and logged off as colleagues noted racket sounds.
- The commission approved its budget‑impact opinion on the initiative 32–11 with no abstentions.
- Video of the incident spread widely on social media, and Blanco had not issued a detailed explanation by Tuesday.
- Morena coordinator Ricardo Monreal said the episode “does not leave a good taste,” cited possible economic sanctions under law, and noted JUCOPO is weighing more in‑person sessions, with any discipline left to administrative organs.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said the Chamber should apply its internal rules, and reports recalled Blanco’s separate electoral sanction for gender‑based political violence.
