Television presenter Pedro Sola has recently generated controversy with his statements regarding Pope Leon XIV. In a Twitter post last week, Sola suggested that it is more sensible to vote with the tax ID than with the INE, arguing that voters are the ones who pay taxes and that those who receive government support vote for them.
These statements prompted a response from the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, during the Morning Conference on May 1st, where she criticized the lack of knowledge and pointed out that all Mexicans pay taxes in various ways. Despite this, Pedro Sola along with journalist Pati Chapoy questioned the tax system and the government’s social programs again, stating that laziness is rewarded and labor inactivity is encouraged.
The controversy did not end there, as Pedro Sola also expressed his discontent with the election of the new Pope Leon XIV. Despite the message of peace and love from the supreme pontiff, Sola maintained a negative attitude, highlighting that the election of the new leader of the Catholic Church did not excite him and that he was simply glad that the special coverage of the event did not affect the broadcast of his program Ventaneando.
These controversies add to the long list of statements and opinions that have put Pedro Sola in the center of public attention, generating both positive and negative reactions from the audience and prominent figures in the political and social sphere.
