Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, secretary of Organization of Morena and son of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has responded to criticism over his vacation to Tokyo, Japan. He issued a statement clarifying that he financed the trip with his own resources after exhausting work periods. López Beltrán accused his political adversaries of orchestrating espionage and a political smear campaign against him, claiming that spies were sent to monitor him during his vacation. He detailed that his hotel expenses in Tokyo were approximately 7,500 pesos per day. The revelations, including leaked photos and videos from his trip, sparked a backlash from opposition figures such as Gerardo Fernández Noroña, who questioned the authenticity of López Beltrán's letter and described it as poorly written and uncharacteristic. Other critics, including Ricardo Anaya and Alejandro Moreno, labeled the defense as fraudulent and pathetic. Despite the controversy, López Beltrán maintains that the trip was a personal vacation and denounces the campaign against him as politically motivated.
