Morena reported 138,182 pesos in flights for Andy López Beltrán
Morena reported 138,182.55 pesos in flight costs for Andy López Beltrán, its former secretary of organization.
The party provided 27 airline receipts for trips in 2025 and 2026, covering flights on Aeroméxico, Viva and Volaris.
The records were requested through a transparency process covering travel from October 2024 to August 2026.
The party said it had no receipts for lodging or meals, and did not directly provide the total number or purposes of the trips.
A review of the documents found that 18 travel authorization files for 2025 were created in July 2026, more than a year after the dates they listed.
Some receipts lacked the passenger’s name or destination, and other records showed tickets bought before the stated authorization dates.
The paperwork leaves questions about how the trips were authorized and documented, but the sources do not say what action, if any, will follow.
