On February 12, during a council session in Cuautla, Morelos, video footage emerged showing Jesús Corona Damián, the mayor of the municipality, appearing visibly intoxicated. In the video, he struggled to identify the day and time to officially start the session, which raised concerns regarding his capacity to fulfill his role effectively. This incident sparked widespread criticism and discussions on social media, as it reflects poorly on local governance.

The mayor had gained his position due to a coalition involving the National Action Party (PAN), the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD). Following the incident, the PAN in Morelos expressed disappointment over the situation and highlighted the diminishing quality of governance under Corona Damián's leadership. They emphasized that he had been put in office through a coalition with other parties, distancing themselves from his actions and lamenting the lack of communication and alignment with proposed public policies since the start of his term.

This event underscores the ongoing issues related to leadership and accountability within local government in Mexico, raising questions about the effectiveness of political alliances and the responsibility of elected officials. It also points to the challenges faced by political parties in managing the aftermath of such incidents and restoring public confidence in governance at the municipal level.
