‘Who's going to pull their leg now?’ Senate esthetics suspended; opposition calls for cancellation
The Senate's esthetic services are suspended pending a review due to controversies surrounding the service provided to female senators.
The Senate's esthetic services, which provided beauty treatment to female senators, have been suspended, as announced by Ignacio Mier, the president of the Political Coordination Board during a press conference. This decision follows a wave of controversy regarding the operation of these services and aims to ensure transparency regarding all services available to senators and Senate workers.
Mier emphasized the need for a thorough review of the operational standards and financial arrangements involved in providing esthetic services, especially after concerns were raised about who manages these services and whether proper financial protocols are followed. The matter gained attention after questions arose about whether the service provider had established a formal contractual relationship with the Senate.
The response from Mier indicates a cautious approach by the Senate towards its internal operations amidst growing scrutiny and pressure from opposition parties. The suspension not only aims to alleviate concerns over potential mismanagement but also reflects broader debates about the appropriateness of such services in a governmental setting, especially in relation to public funds and ethical governance practices.
