The netizens were divided into two large groups, as expected, for or against the current President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) and the aforementioned, his brother. The controversy began after the Latinus portal, headed by Carlos Loret de Mola, ventilated a video showing David León deliver packages with supposed money to the aforementioned AMLO family member.

The material shows Pío López sitting at the table of what appears to be a restaurant accompanied by who in the following days would be integrated into the Ministry of Health, all this in 2015, when the current representative was informally starting his campaign for the 2018 elections.The report of the aforementioned portal indicates that the resources were intended to sponsor the campaign and were delivered in the same way by year and a half. 
This is for the issue of supporting them in the movement here,” he hears the now official of the AMLO administration as he receives the packages left over from bundles.

An instant later a figure was revealed that may prove crucial to a possible investigation.
I’m going to have the exact date for you to pick up the second million and we’re done,” he added.

It should be noted that while all this was happening, León worked as a consultant and operator of the government of Chiapas, then headed by Manuel Velasco.He posted on his social networks that he will decline the takeover of protest in the mentioned post until the situation in which he was involved after the audiovisual material was ventilated is clarified.

He explained on his official Twitter account that the video must be approximately 5 years old, from November 2013 to November 2018, “period in which he was a consultant, not a public servant,” in his words.
My way of supporting the Movement was to collect resources among acquaintances for assemblies and other activities,” he said
