Palace Sunbathing Scandal Sparks Political Firestorm

To date, this information has not been officially confirmed by federal authorities. The case gained prominence in the days prior, when images captured from the Zócalo showed a woman sunbathing on one of the balconies of the historic building, which generated criticism and questions about the use of public spaces of high institutional relevance. Now all that's left is to find out who the official from the window of the National Palace is, isn't it? And what if I told you that she is the General Director of Coordination for @Edgar_Amador_Z? The controversy surrounding the woman caught sunbathing on a balcony of the National Palace took a new turn this Monday, after a version of her alleged identity began to circulate on social media. According to posts by the user known as “Vampipe”, the woman would be Florencia Franco Fernández, who serves as the General Director of Coordination in the team of Secretary of the Treasury, Edgar Amador Zamora, and is also the wife of the former Undersecretary of the SHCP, Gabriel Yorio. He explained that, at first, the responsible areas denied the incident, but it was later confirmed that a person was in that space. The official clarified that there is no specific regulation that prohibits this type of behavior, although she stressed the importance of maintaining respect for a venue like the National Palace. Criticism from the opposition The case also generated political reactions. Former Mayor Sandra Cuevas questioned the sanction applied, considering it insufficient and maintained that the person involved should have been removed from her post. Cuevas emphasized that those working in spaces of high institutional relevance must conduct themselves with greater responsibility, a stance that has helped keep the topic in public conversation.
