Sergio Mayer, a deputy from the Morena party in Mexico, has garnered attention for his extracurricular activities rather than his legislative work. He has requested a leave of absence to participate in the reality television program 'La casa de los famosos', despite only managing to introduce five initiatives and a few speeches during his nearly 18 months in office. His decision reflects a growing trend among politicians to leverage celebrity culture for personal visibility and gain factors.

During his tenure, Mayer received support from his party for his alignment with President Claudia Sheinbaum's reforms, indicated by the praise from Ricardo Monreal, the leader of the Morena parliamentary group. While some may view his focus on the entertainment world as a detriment to his political career, his colleagues have not reported significant internal issues, suggesting he maintained a degree of discipline and loyalty within the party ranks. However, the reality star persona of Mayer could overshadow his legislative responsibilities, further complicating public perceptions of politicians' roles.

The implications of Mayer's choice to focus on television rather than his legislative duties raise questions about the responsibilities of elected officials and the impact of celebrity culture in politics. As more politicians engage in entertainment, the effectiveness and integrity of legislative bodies may come under scrutiny, prompting discussions about the balance between public service and personal brand building. Escalating narratives around this trend could influence voter attitudes towards future elections and the qualifications they seek in their representatives.
