Senator Adán Augusto López was caught browsing the internet during a session in the Senate, where photos of Senator Andrea Chávez, with whom he has been romantically linked in the past, were seen. This incident, discovered and shared by journalist Manuel López San Martín, sparked debate about the power relationship and the potential benefits that the country's youngest legislator may have obtained.
In response to this situation, Andrea Chávez decided to file a complaint supported by the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City, stating that it was based on the Olimpia Law, which seeks to combat digital violence. The senator has been involved in various controversies throughout her career, recently being linked to a case of gender and digital violence against political scientist Denise Dresser and cartoonist Antonio Garci Nieto.
In this context, in August 2023, Chávez was heavily criticized by Dresser, who hinted at a romantic relationship between the senator and Adán Augusto López, exposing an alleged irregular use of public resources. The situation worsened when Dresser was sanctioned by the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary for political gender violence and was compelled to make a public apology.
Additionally, in October 2024, Chávez reported being a victim of digital violence, which sparked a discussion on the subject and placed her in an uncomfortable position. Amidst these controversies, cartoonist Antonio Garci Nieto shared an altered image of Chávez, provoking further criticism and debates about responsibility in the dissemination of content.
