AMLO’s son defends two pro-government communicators after nightclub video
José Ramón López Beltrán defended two pro-government communicators after a video showed them at a nightclub.
The men are Nacho Rodríguez, known online as “El Chapucero,” and Vicente Serrano, both described as close to former Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
The video drew criticism online over whether their leisure activities fit the austerity principle promoted by Morena, the party that governed under López Obrador and now governs under President Claudia Sheinbaum.
López Beltrán said there was no proof that public money paid the nightclub bill and called the outing a private matter unless evidence showed otherwise.
He argued that austerity is about how people in power use public funds, not how they spend their free time.
He also said women shown in the video should not be judged or used as political objects.
The debate over public figures’ conduct and austerity continues online, while Serrano said the criticism did not concern him.

What people are saying
If they prove it, let them show their faces. Until then, it is private life. Dancing or raising a glass is not lying, stealing or betraying.
Assuming things about them is machismo, and using them to attack someone politically is treating them as objects. They deserve respect, whoever judges them.
Let the party continue.
