Controversies

On 2 March 2021, during a virtual session of the Senate established as a preventive measure against the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico, Senator Ricardo Velázquez Meza projected a photograph of himself to simulate that he was present at the meeting held via Zoom. The fact was reported by journalist Leticia Robles through Twitter: "I thought I had seen wrong, but no. The senator of Morena, Ricardo Velázquez @BcsRicardo has a photo for virtual meetings and today he did not remove it to vote. Could it be that he uses it to pretend that he is paying attention to the electrical debate in @senadomexicano? He already left the photo. Literally: I saw him double".[6][7]
