Political Outrage Over Air Quality in Monterrey

Mariana Rodríguez generated memes for her recommendation of an air purifier costing over 20 thousand pesos from the brand Dyson. The wife of Samuel García was the subject of mockery and criticism on social media, even being compared to Marie Antoinette for her suggestion.

In a video posted on Instagram, Mariana Rodríguez showcased the Dyson air purifier, designed to clean the environment of pathogens and contaminating particles in enclosed spaces. This action triggered a series of memes and jokes online, editing photos of the influencer into images of the 18th-century French queen consort.

The price of the Dyson air purifier recommended by Mariana Rodríguez is 25,299 pesos, available on the official brand website. The Big+Quiet Formaldehyde model promises to improve indoor air quality by eliminating contaminating particles, viruses, bacteria, gases, and bad odors.

On the other hand, Governor Samuel García announced that five individuals have been arrested for starting intentional forest fires in Nuevo León, and preventive prison will be requested for three of them. The poor air quality in the region is mainly attributed to the activities of the Cadereyta Refinery and the reported fires at different points in the state.
