What do today's evidences say? The most serious aspect of the 'La Tía Paty' case is that, according to investigations that have come to light, the network crossed the line into criminality. The surprise came when Mariana presented her cosmetics business, and the logo was, none other than, the same one the gossip account had shared months earlier. The motto seemed clear: destroy other people's reputations so that there would only be one queen of social media in the state. Mariana was untouchable for 'La Tía Paty', but influencers like Andy Benavides, Mallory Caballero, Alethia Sada, and Charito Ruiz, among many others, suffered infamous and systematic attacks aimed at damaging their public and commercial image. The slander did not only reach Mariana's business competitors. After the arrest, the newspaper 'Reforma' reported that Mariana had shared photos with the administrators on her own social media from campaign events. It wasn't Mariana the celebrity who was asked for photos; it was a select group of friends and influencers who posed with the famous star of 'Rosario Tijeras'. The smell of a conflict of interest is perceptible from here to the Macroplaza. The facts are irrefutable. Now, beyond the Instagram filters and PR campaigns, the facts remain, and those, as I always say, are stubborn: First: Mariana and her businesses were constantly applauded and promoted by 'La Tía Paty'. Second: Mariana's competitors and Samuel's ex-girlfriends were slandered and viciously attacked by the same account. Third: there is photographic evidence of Mariana with the administrators in contexts that are not coincidental. Fourth: the judge who must oversee the case is an unconditional supporter of the state's ruling party. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... what do you think? Right next to Mariana, to her right. There is talk of extortions of at least 15,000 pesos from each client to not publish the photos of the encounter—and mind you, the testimonies range from harassed doctors and entrepreneurs to kidnapping threats if multi-million fees are not paid. And where did the administrator of 'La Tía Paty' appear? What you have to see in the 'New' Nuevo León! Everything I have discovered about the famous and feared 'La Tía Paty' is not just a hallway gossip in San Pedro or a coffee anecdote, but rather we are actually facing what seems to be a perfectly oiled network of defamation, business sheltered by power, and serious crimes that should keep us all up at night. While Samuel García sells us investments and companies that never arrive and boasts of the modernity of a government that calls itself digital and disruptive—inhale and exhale—everything seems to indicate that under the table a structure was woven that has nothing to envy the spy novels or the darkest plots of old politics. At that time, Mariana's response was to distance herself from everything. It was the 'obligatory' place where thousands entered to see the latest gossip of Nuevo León society, but behind the memes and laughter was hidden a strategy of reputational demolition and digital lobbying, which is now under scrutiny. The modus operandi was textbook and, to say the least, extremely effective. Caguama with a bottle cap. While the account relentlessly promoted the brands directly linked to Mariana Rodríguez—I'm talking about Mar Cosmetics, Xile Chile, Peach Agency, Ellaz, and Mi Mercado—simultaneously it slandered and attacked anyone who cast a shadow on her or competed in the influencer market. How is impartiality guaranteed when the judge and the accused shared an office and political projects? How could something like this operate for so long in plain sight? Mariana Rodríguez in the eye of the hurricane. Although Gaby Elizondo's warnings sounded long ago pointing to Mariana, it was not until the authorities began the apprehensions that the focus turned back to the office of the first lady of Nuevo León, who now wants to be her husband's successor in the governorship. Last December, they arrested Marilyn 'N', a key piece of the network. Is there an urgent need for a 'tailor-made' judge so that the pieces of the puzzle don't fit together? But the narrative began to wobble in March of this year when they arrested two other administrators: César 'N' and Astrid 'N'. That is, the same trusted lawyer of the 'phospho-phospho' governor, who has accompanied him since his days as a local deputy, is now in charge of administering justice in a case that directly points to the governor's circle and his wife. Two photos with different administrators in intimate and work contexts no longer seem like a coincidence. And are there more 'coincidences'? So, let's get tough... An account with a very specific purpose. For years, 'La Tía Paty' disguised itself as a viral humor account from the region. The questions pile up and the official answers seem insufficient. The judge, at the service of Samuel and MC. Now that the scandal has erupted, we run into an orange wall. It turns out that the judge in charge of resolving the amparo for Astrid 'N' is Luis Gerardo Esparza. Was it a simple coincidence that the success of some brands coincided with the disrepute of others? And who is this character? And, oh, my!, it turned out that Mariana also had photos with Astrid 'N'. The state government's spokesperson repeated the script of the 'fan', but the details tell another story. The photo with Astrid was taken at a private event, petit comité, specifically a press conference by actress Bárbara de Regil in Monterrey, where she announced one of her cardio events. Months before Mar Cosmetics was a public reality, 'La Tía Paty' was already announcing that it would launch its own makeup brand and published a logo with an italic 'M'. Gaby denounced it years ago when she even suffered an attempt to close her business, she published what she was experiencing and it became news that is still recorded in the media. How did the account know the details of a private venture that did not officially exist yet? As of this column, a dozen complaints face this network, and the number seems to be rising as fear dissipates. The level of baseness reached a personal level: Gaby Elizondo and her pastry shop Kuchen were victims of a brutal hate campaign and merciless attacks for the simple 'sin' of being Samuel García's ex-girlfriend. The response was the classic one: that it was just another photo with a 'fan' asking for a selfie. And this is none other than a judge promoted by the famous 'accordion' of Samuel García during the judicial election, and who was previously the legal coordinator of the Citizen Movement. The existence of a Telegram chat linked to this account has been documented, where presumably catalogs of women for sexual services were handled, including minors.
