Actor and politician Sergio Mayer resumed his functions at the San Lazaro Palace after being absent for a little more than three weeks. His return comes after his participation in La Casa de los Famososwhere she surprised the public by joining the sixth season of the program.
The reappearance of the former member of Garibaldi did not go unnoticed, since his decision to temporarily leave his position to participate in a reality show generated controversy in both the political and media spheres.
During his return to the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Mayer offered public apologies for the scandal caused by his absence. He acknowledged that his decision was not politically appropriate, although he insisted that he acted within the legal framework in requesting a leave of absence.
His statements sought to calm the criticism that arose after his participation in television, where many questioned the compatibility between his legislative responsibilities and his presence in an entertainment program.
Sergio Mayer returns to the Chamber of Deputies and apologizes
Hours before his official reinstatement, Mayer used his social networks to take the situation with humor. Through stories on Instagramhe shared a video from the legislative precinct showing preparations for an event.
In an ironic tone, the actor insinuated that it was a special reception in his honor, and laughingly thanked the supposed welcome. However, the event actually corresponded to the flag-raising ceremony for the anniversary of the Military School of Medicine, a ceremony in which elements of the army and cadets participated.
Last February 17th, Sergio Mayer became a trending topic after his surprise entrance to La Casa de los Famosos. That same day it was announced that he had requested an indefinite leave of absence from his position as federal deputy.
The request was approved by the plenary by an economic vote, which allowed its participation in the program without incurring in a legal fault. However, the decision was widely debated in the public opinion.
Consequences within your party
The controversy was not limited to the media. The Morena Morenaparty, to which Mayer belongs, initiated proceedings against him through its National Commission for Honesty and Justice.
The investigation is focused on a possible violation of the party’s internal statutes, which has resulted in the suspension of his partisan rights while the case is being analyzed.
So far, the situation of Sergio Mayer within Morena is still in process. Although he has already resumed his legislative functions, the outcome of the internal investigation is still uncertain.
His return to the San Lazaro Palace marks the beginning of a new stage in which he will have to face both his political responsibilities and the repercussions of a decision that placed him at the center of controversy.
