Rocío Nahle apologizes for a tweet posted by the Sener

Yesterday, a message published on the Sener ’s Twitter took everyone by surprise: “Yes, your attacks against the government, the President , Rocío Nahle , Luisa María Alcalde , Irma Eréndira Sandoval , and their families are the result of a beast who suffered a deadly wound.” Later, Energy Minister Rocío Nahle apologized and the tweet was deleted. Nevertheless, the incident shows that community managers hired by the government are fierce government supporters. Are they paid to lead political campaigns and work for the government with public resources ? Another case is that of Morena ’s electoral agents, who turned into surveyors to define social programs. Where do we draw the line? Isn’t this corruption ?
