Morena announces 'definitive' closure of the beauty salon in the Senate: 'No more grooming'
Morena officials have decided to permanently close the Senate's beauty salon, requiring senators to seek grooming services elsewhere.
In a recent press conference, Ignacio Mier Velazco, the coordinator of the Morena party and president of the Political Coordination Board, announced the permanent closure of the Senate's beauty salon. This decision follows a thorough analysis which revealed that the salon was minimally equipped, featuring only a chair, a mirror, and a hair-washing sink, all valued at 37,000 pesos. Mier emphasized that there was no formal documentation or invoices for the services provided by the salon, suggesting mismanagement of public resources.
The closure of the salon has significant implications for its previous clientele, particularly for female senators who relied on the salon for grooming services. Mier stated, "It is definitively closed... those colleagues who used to groom there will have to look for another space." This decision has garnered mixed reactions, with some arguing that it reflects a commitment to reducing unnecessary expenditures within the government.
Mier also addressed the situation of YazmΓn, the stylist who worked at the salon, describing her as a victim of the closure. He highlighted that she is a hardworking mother who depended on her job for her family's income and has now lost financial support that was previously provided by the female senators. While the closure aims to curb expenditures, it raises questions about the treatment of service workers and the balance between cost-saving measures and support for those who work in the government's service sector.
