Mexican municipal officials criticized for lack of results and investigations

Adolfo Rivera Portillo, regidor of Yauhquemehcan and head of the municipal public works commission, acknowledged after nearly two years in office that he has no completed projects, despite receiving a salary of roughly 26,600 pesos per month. He blamed internal conflicts within the town council for the lack of progress, prompting local residents to question his performance.

Nancy Nápoles Pacheco, mayor of Tenancingo, reappeared at a promotional event distributing national‑team shirts, which reignited social‑media criticism. She is under investigation by the State of Mexico prosecutor for alleged kidnapping simulation and a possible embezzlement of about 40 million pesos. Morena has opened an internal disciplinary process, and a judicial hearing for formal charges has been scheduled.
