Another López-Gatell scandal: they caught him walking in the Countess despite having COVID-19

Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez, the Undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion, was seen for the first time in almost three weeks in the Condesa neighborhood, walking with his girlfriend. This despite having been positive in the second PCR test.

During the daily COVID-19 Conference, the epidemiologist was questioned about the photos that circulated on social networks and in a national newspaper. However, the official evaded the question and blamed the media for profiting from scandals.

“[La pregunta] refers to the unfortunate reality of having the media in Mexico, especially the corporate media, which throughout the epidemic and I doubt they will change their attitude, have sought to gain notoriety, I suppose for profit reasons. Surely it is more lucrative to get news that could generate scandal and then this will increase the quotas of advertising rates and other sources of income “, delcaró Gatell.

The undersecretary also pointed out that in the case of the images distributed this Wednesday, it is due to the political interests of the newspaper in question.

“In other cases it is very clear, as they have political agendas, agendas of interest groups, especially some economic interest groups, that they have suffered loss of privileges throughout what we have been transforming. The president has commented on this with specific examples, so I am still hopeful that these people and these groups, who are owners of the corporate media, the editorial heads, the columnists, who live off this part of the morbid speculation of the intrigue and that they have an extraordinarily low level in technical, journalistic quality. They have no sources, they use rumors.
