The Minister President of the Supreme Court of Justice, Hugo Aguilar, commented on an incident where two of his subordinates attempted to clean his shoes. The incident took place outside the Theater of the Republic in Querétaro. One official who observed the scene indifferently withdrew with a smile. After the video was circulated, it was identified that one of the people cleaning the shoes is Amanda Pérez Bolaños, head of the Social Communication Office of the Supreme Court. Journalist Álvaro Delgado wrote on social media that the official was eating a scallop with cream and it stained the minister's shoe, so she sought to rectify her mistake. 'Supreme chief, is there any article in the Constitution that obliges every person subordinate to you to clean your shoes?' user @alexgradel asked. It is not explained why a second official also bent down to clean the minister's left shoe. Álvaro Delgado clarified: 'Amanda Pérez Bolaños, the first female spokesperson for the SCJN, was eating a scallop with cream next to the president minister, Hugo Aguilar, when part of the food fell and stained his shoes. This is shameful!' user Sandra (@peke_tp) wrote: 'They are bootlickers and you, a miserable wretch who can't even clean his own shoes.' 'This took me by surprise and is the moment that is now being circulated. To Amanda Pérez, I thank you for the gesture,' Aguilar responded. 'We did not realize that she had splashed on my shoe, and when she became aware, she tried to resolve the situation. I say: He should have cleaned his own footwear.' Hugo Aguilar's response. Shortly before 6:00 p.m., the president minister gave his version of the facts. The Minister President of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, Hugo Aguilar, was captured outside the Theater of the Republic in Querétaro, prior to the anniversary of the Constitution. Two people accompanying him bent down to clean his shoes, according to the scene broadcast by Televisa (NMas). 'What they cannot stand, what they find unacceptable and truly outrages them is that a white person kneels before an indigenous person. That is the scene they cannot bear,' a comment read. 'You are a disgrace,' user @DRxbrxck wrote. 'You did nothing wrong, minister, keep it up. What happened today is shameful!' another user added. User @PsMeLlamoRed wrote: 'Good afternoon, minister, I hope your shoes are still well-polished, but next time try to bend down and do it yourself, thank you.' In recent weeks, the Supreme Court has been involved in controversies and clarifications due to expenses and statements by its members: Who is Amanda Pérez Bolaños? In his message, he thanked the gesture, offered an apology, and reiterated his respect. 'An incident this morning has been circulated with messages that are not true to reality. My colleague, the head of Social Communication, spilled coffee and cream,' he stated. He reiterated that his shoes were soiled when the head of Social Communication dropped 'coffee and cream.' 'Or is it only those who get something good at night in the morning and immediately become arrogant. They say it right, give a little power to ignorance and it will become arrogance.' As soon as I noticed, I asked her not to continue. Even so, I offer an apology and reiterate my respect. Undoubtedly, this fact does not represent the institutional conduct of the SCJN nor the way I conduct my public and private performance. It is necessary to say: There have been nor will there be attitudes or feelings of superiority or pride in my person. The president minister has received dozens of comments on his X profile. 'You are a disgrace, according to your very humble self,' user @LuisFue97695982 wrote. *On September 15, Amanda Pérez Bolaños, a graduate of the International Relations degree from ITAM, was appointed head of the Social Communication Office of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN). Her appointment is an example of how academic preparation and practical experience combine to contribute to the strengthening of the country's democratic institutions. She, she tells me, wanted to rectify her mistake. Her professional and academic trajectory reflects a constant commitment to public service and strategic communication. With a career that includes experience in the Secretariat of Tourism, the Secretariat of Health, the Secretariat of Foreign Relations, and the co-founding of the agency Unánimo, Amanda has demonstrated leadership skills, strategic vision, and a firm commitment to public service, says her profile in the private university. From the ITAM community, we wish her the greatest success in this new professional stage.
