In the Chamber of Deputies, a heated debate erupted when PAN deputy, Ali Sayuri Núñez, presented an amendment to the 2023 Expenditure Budget Project with her baby in her arms. Deputies from Morena harshly criticized Núñez, demanding that she take her baby down from the podium and accusing her of using her daughter for political purposes.
Deputy Susana Prieto from Morena requested the president of the Board of Directors to intervene and take the baby down from the podium, arguing that it was inappropriate for the baby to be there if the baby was not a deputy. However, Santiago Creel argued that Deputy Núñez had every right to be with her daughter at the podium, as she had legal custody over her.
In solidarity with Núñez, the PAN coordinator in the Chamber of Deputies, Noemí Luna Ayala, highlighted the importance of supporting working mothers and preventing acts of misogyny. Ayala emphasized the need for society to offer more inclusive measures for women who are both mothers and professionals.
In another scenario, former Notimex director, Sanjuana Martínez, generated controversy by denouncing that the news director of Channel 11, Luisa Cantú, brought her minor children to the workplace. This situation triggered a debate on social media about the presence of children in workplaces, with divided opinions on the matter.
