Puerto Vallarta councilwoman accuses Mayor of bribing her to vote for budget increase

The Morena political party, which Mexico’s president leads, and their mayor in Puerto Vallarta, Luis Michel, became a national scandal: last Friday, September 30, the City Council session was national news after Councilor Carla Esparza “returned” an envelope with money to the mayor, telling him that his son, Chuy Michel, gave it to her as a bribe to vote in favor of the budget increases requested by the mayor. The scene played out in a public hearing in front of cameras.
