Senator challenges lawmakers to surrender U.S. visas in support of López Obrador's son

Senator Lilly Téllez has issued a provocative challenge to Morena lawmakers, urging them to symbolically surrender their U.S. visas as a tangible display of support for Andy López Beltrán, the son of former President López Obrador.

During a session in the Senate, Téllez presented a silver tray, inviting senators and deputies from Morena to deposit their American visas. "I challenge you, I challenge all of you from the bench of the mafiosi, to deposit your visas in this tray so that the support you give Andy verbally is real. Or are they just empty words?" she declared.

Téllez questioned the sincerity of their support, urging them to "break your visas from the United States, those of you who still have them." She added, "Put them in this tray so that Andy feels that your support is real, that it's not just words. Do not be hypocrites."

The senator also took a jab at López Beltrán's name, noting his preference for the English version "Andy." "López Obrador's son likes the United States so much that he even transformed his name into English, and he asks to be called Andy; that's all that's left for him of the United States, the name Andy," she quipped ironically.

Furthermore, Téllez called upon the newly ratified Mexican ambassador to Ireland, Rogelio Granguillhome, not to use the embassy as a refuge for the former president's son, especially now that his visa is no longer valid.
