In a recent statement reflecting frustration, Mexican Senators Cynthia López Castro and Andrea Chávez Treviño denied any involvement in the controversial aesthetics sessions in the Senate, which were recently suspended by the president of the Political Coordination Board. During a brief interview after the meeting of the Constitutional Points, Legislative Studies, and Labor committees, the senators were adamant that these claims were 'absolutely false', emphasizing their lack of participation in what they term as a ‘clandestine’ affair. López Castro, representing Chihuahua, even remarked with a tone of defiance, ‘I comb my hair at home,’ alluding to her independence from the gossip surrounding the aesthetics issue.

With them was Senator Geovanna de la Torre from the Labor Party (PT), who appeared reluctant to associate with the two Morenistas as they braced for questioning about the aesthetics matter, suggesting a broader discomfort with the implications of the controversy. Despite her hesitations, the Morenistas encouraged her to stay, indicating some degree of solidarity or accountability amidst the criticism they were facing. This dynamic highlights the complex relationships within political circles, particularly concerning how public appearances and personal grooming choices can become points of contention in Mexican political discourse.

The controversy was further fueled by accusations from Juanita Guerra, a senator from the Green Party (PVEM), who was caught dyeing her hair during a session and subsequently challenged the Morenistas on the lack of sisterhood they exhibited in inviting her to utilize the Senate’s aesthetic space. As tensions boiled, tensions escalated and prompted an outburst from Chávez, who left the exchange angrily crying, 'What nonsense!' This incident not only underscores the challenges of femininity in political representation but also signals an ongoing struggle within Mexican politics regarding gender dynamics and personal expression, particularly in the context of traditional expectations placed on women politicians.
