Transparency Gap Widens on Andy López Beltrán’s Travel as He Reappears Online and Japan Invoices Emerge

Reporters say receipts are missing from Mexico’s transparency platform even though Morena asserts it uploaded the disclosures.

Overview

  • After formal requests for copies of receipts, Morena referred journalists to the Plataforma Nacional de Transparencia, but reviews found no itemized records for López Beltrán’s expenses.
  • Coverage tallied about 96 domestic trips linked to party work documented on his Instagram, yet transportation, lodging and per diem details are not publicly verifiable.
  • Aristegui Noticias published hotel documents indicating roughly 177,221 pesos in charges and a 47,627‑peso dinner in Tokyo, conflicting with López Beltrán’s statement that he paid 7,500 pesos per night on a self-funded vacation.
  • López Beltrán has accused critics of espionage and political ‘lynching,’ said he traveled on commercial flights, and maintained that he paid with his own resources.
  • After roughly 80–89 days without in‑person appearances, he joined a Morena council meeting virtually as party officials repeated compliance claims and President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized humility and accountability from political actors.
