Controversial Debate on Social Programs in Chihuahua

The language and personal attacks of Chávez were considered unacceptable in a political sphere by internet users. On the other hand, the senator defended the importance of support programs for vulnerable sectors, such as the elderly and people with disabilities, criticizing the historical lack of attention from right-wing governments.

In response to criticisms of the party, Chávez challenged the PAN to demonstrate its support for social programs. Her statements provoked controversy and criticism of the National Action Party (PAN) for its stance deemed as paternalistic. The legislator stated: "This paternalistic policy will make them poorer," highlighting that people with disabilities with skills could contribute in private companies.

Chávez also questioned the PAN's attitude toward these programs, accusing them of being historical critics and labeling them as "paternalistic." The senator mentioned Claudio X. González as a representative of an elite that evades social responsibilities, suggesting a lack of genuine commitment from the party to social welfare due to their votes against reforms to guarantee such programs.

Chávez's criticisms generated various reactions on social media, where Senator Lilly Téllez stood out by criticizing the alleged vulgarity of her speech. In defense of the social programs promoted by the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Chávez denounced the lack of support for people with disabilities in Chihuahua.

The senator has been the subject of criticism on social media, especially from Lilly Téllez, a PAN senator, who called her "vulgarcita" for her manner of speaking during the discussion on the reform regarding social welfare. Chávez exposed the lack of response to support requests for people with disabilities in Chihuahua and challenged legislators to demonstrate their honesty regarding the federal budget.
