PRI Deputy Laura Ruiz Moreno Accused of Selling Food Parcels in Coacalco

Federal deputy Laura Ivonne Ruiz Moreno of the PRI faced criticism after images showed her promoting the distribution of food parcels in Coacalco through a "recovery fee" scheme. Critics questioned whether the program was a genuine aid initiative or a sale, noting the lack of public information on the source of the food, the administration of the fees, and any governmental subsidy involved.

The deputy has defended the effort as a way for families to purchase basic goods at prices below market rates, but details on suppliers, financial flows, and participant records remain undisclosed. The controversy has political implications, as the program reinforces Ruiz Moreno's presence in the municipality ahead of the 2027 local elections, linking her name to direct assistance for residents.
