Several Morena party members in Mexico have come under scrutiny for engaging in luxury spending that appears to contradict the party's austerity policies. Gerardo Fernández Noroña, president of the Mexican Senate, defended the personal expenditures of Morena legislators, including a lavish birthday party held by deputy Pedro Haces at an exclusive hotel on Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City. Noroña emphasized that these personal expenses are separate from public policy and that each legislator has the right to spend their own money as they see fit. Similarly, Ricardo Monreal, Morena's coordinator, denied allegations of staying in luxury hotels during his vacation in Spain, stating that the trip was privately funded to celebrate his 40th wedding anniversary. Meanwhile, Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, secretary of organization for Morena and son of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, was photographed at the five-star Okura Hotel in Tokyo alongside deputy Daniel Asaf, a former chief aide to the president. These images have fueled debate about the party's commitment to austerity, although officials maintain that no public funds were used for these personal expenditures. Morena leadership has also rejected claims of any complicity in misconduct, affirming that any illegal actions should be addressed through legal channels. Meanwhile, Secretary of Education Mario Delgado avoided questions regarding his alleged stay at a luxury hotel in Portugal.
