‘I paid 500 pesos’: Juanita Guerra, captured in a beauty salon of the Senate, accuses lack of sisterhood
Senator Juanita Guerra of the PVEM criticized her peers for lacking solidarity after being filmed using a beauty salon in the Senate.
In a recent interview, Senator Juanita Guerra from the PVEM expressed her discontent regarding the lack of support from her fellow senators after being caught in a clandestine beauty salon within the Senate premises. She claimed that those who invited her to use the space abandoned her, highlighting a disappointing absence of solidarity among female lawmakers in such a public setting. Guerra lamented that while she had expected support, she received none, raising broader questions about the unity and sisterhood among women in the Mexican legislature.
Guerra's comments came in light of the Senate's beauty salon reopening, and she openly criticized her colleagues from not just her party but also from the Labor Party (PT) and Morena for their silence on the issue. She pointedly stated, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," emphasizing the need for accountability and solidarity among women. Her sentiments seem to resonate with a larger conversation about the challenges female politicians face, especially in maintaining solidarity in a male-dominated sphere.
The controversy not only reveals the dynamics within the Senate but also reflects the broader societal issues of female empowerment and solidarity. Guerra's call for transparency regarding the use of the beauty salon also suggests an underlying concern about the appropriateness of such facilities being used by lawmakers in a professional environment. This incident may prompt further discussions on gender politics and the expectations of mutual support among women in positions of power.
