Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, secretary of Organization for the Morena party and son of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has publicly addressed criticism surrounding his recent vacation to Tokyo, Japan. He stated that the trip was self-funded, with hotel expenses amounting to 7,500 pesos per day, and described the backlash as a political campaign involving espionage and harassment by his adversaries. López Beltrán emphasized that he took the vacation after exhausting work periods and accused conservative opponents of orchestrating a smear campaign. Meanwhile, other family members of the former president, including José Ramón López Beltrán, defended their own vacations, with José Ramón highlighting his private employment status and right to privacy. In a related controversy, Morena legislators Diana Karina Barreras and her husband Sergio Gutiérrez Luna were revealed to have attended an exclusive Formula 1 party in Mexico City, with tickets reportedly costing around 170,000 pesos each. Gutiérrez Luna denied wrongdoing, claiming the tickets were courtesy gifts. The situation has sparked debate within political circles, including criticism from Senator Fernández Noroña regarding Andrés Manuel López Beltrán's public response to the Japan trip.
