Actor Poncho de Nigris, known for his participation in "El premio mayor", asked not to criticize his mother and made a comment about former president Ernesto Zedillo. Despite having praised his mother on social media, Poncho de Nigris's relationship with Leticia Guajardo has been complicated this year, with a strong fight during a live broadcast at the beginning of 2024, even involving Marcela Mistral, the actor's wife.
After the controversy, Poncho de Nigris decided to distance himself from his mother, who has been seen collecting the Pension for the Wellbeing of older adults at a branch of the Bank of Wellbeing. This pension, amounting to 6,000 pesos bimonthly, is part of a government program in Mexico aimed at improving the quality of life for elderly people.
Regarding the photograph of Leticia Guajardo collecting the pension, Poncho de Nigris shared it on social media praising his mother for being an intelligent person. Furthermore, he joked that Leticia should consider enrolling the actor's father in the same program. Despite the criticisms received, the actor defended his mother's right to receive this financial support.
Other celebrities, like Carlos Bonavides, have also gone to collect the Pension for Wellbeing and have defended the social program. In a video shared on TikTok, Poncho de Nigris mentioned that he decided to distance himself from his mother because she drained his energy, but it is unclear if he still maintains this distance.
