Controversy Surrounds Appointments in Pemex

Emilia Calleja, general director of the CFE, has been the subject of criticism for alleged irregular hiring of close associates. One of these cases involves her advisor coordinator, Adrián Olvera, who allegedly secured the position for her husband with a considerable monthly salary. Calleja's management has been pointed out for acts of corruption and protection of sexual harassers, contradicting the promises of an honest government free of nepotism.

On the other hand, there has been mention of the hiring of Jimena Cerritos Calleja, daughter of Emilia Calleja, at Pemex Transformación Industrial (PTI) as a technical specialist B despite her lack of significant work experience. Jimena, a recent graduate in Chemical Engineering, has faced criticism for the lack of transparency in her hiring process and for receiving a considerable salary without apparent justification.

Jimena's hiring has raised questions about the fairness of opportunities within the company, as she does not seem to have the qualifications or experience of other employees in similar positions. This situation has raised suspicions about possible favoritism and lack of transparency in hiring decisions at Pemex, as well as the accountability of those who authorized these appointments.

The main criticism focuses on the inconsistency between the actions of Emilia Calleja and the promises of an honest and transparent government. Despite the justifications given, these family hires have raised doubts about the true integrity of Calleja's management and the alleged renewal in the current government's hiring processes.
