translated from Spanish: Leona Vicar gave money to the cause and they did not record it: Beatriz Gutierrez

Beatriz Gutierrez Muller reminded the women who have supported the revolutionary causes in our country, especially Leona Vicar, whom she said risked everything to confront anti-denominationist characters and “who also gave money and did not record it.”
Her statement comes after on Thursday the Latinus portal revealed a video in which Pío, brother of her husband President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, received money from another of his collaborators, David León.
The president said that money was contributions that people gave to strengthen the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).

“I would like to see the video of when Vicario Leona gave money so that everyone could eat in the camps and fight for independence and so many more,” said Muller, during the unveiling of the statue of Leona Vicar on the Paseo de la Heroines in Reforma.
“I believe that no woman here may not be proud to have contributed even money to strengthen a cause that today keeps us happily telling the whole world: we are an independent, dignified, democratic and free nation,” added the holder of Mexico’s Honorary Council of Historical and Cultural Memory.
She emphasized that during the struggles of independence, the war of reform and the restoration of the Republic many women and men contributed to the cause “intelligence, words, money, shoes, food”.
“(…) let us remember their names we must know that all of them, these are the well-known ones, but all of them and all our women who preceded us in the female lineage have given us a lot, including money, money, financial contributions, before they could not be filmed, now they can be filmed,” he added.
