EspañolUnder the label of “legislative assistance,” Mexico’s congressmen have approved a Christmas bonus of US $ 7,500 per person, but many are turning it down.

The bonus was described as “the economic support that lawmakers receive for their management work performed in their capacity as popular representatives.”

Members of the Citizen Movement party said in a statement that they would not accept the bonuses.

“The parliamentary group Citizen Movement has made the decision to reject any grant, bonus or reward of extraordinary character for the end of the year,” it said in a statement, and requested that no deposit be made.

Members of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) also rejected the bonuses.

 

“If the parliamentary group accepts it and the deputy rejects it, they can distribute it,” Deputy Agustín Basave of the Democratic Revolution Party said.
