Campeche Governor Layda Sansores faced criticism following a trip to Madrid, Spain, where she traveled in Aeroméxico's first-class service. Reports indicated the total cost for the Governor and her companions exceeded 170,000 pesos, a spending level that critics noted contradicted the ruling coalition's austerity rhetoric.

The controversy expanded as social media backlash grew. Critics highlighted images of the Governor shopping on Madrid's exclusive Serrano street and noted the appearance of protest posters in Madrid with messages such as “Se busca Layda Sansores,” referencing the economic situation in Campeche.
