Austerity has been applied in various fields of the federal government, but in the Chamber of Deputies there are areas in which it has not been so. Consultants, advisors, technical and link secretaries make up a golden bureaucracy that enjoys gross salaries that exceed 100 thousand pesos and in some cases reach up to 165 thousand per month.
Among those officials are nearby collaborators of the president of the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo), Ricardo Monreal. This is the case of María Guadalupe Yazmín Yebra, who has worked with the Morenista at least since 2006, when he was coordinator of the Labor Party in the Senate.
With a technical-commercial career, it has a gross salary of 165 thousand 278 pesos per month. Discounting taxes, their perceptions are located at 115 thousand 281 pesos, according to the General Directorate of Human Resources. He is currently attached to the Jucopo, where he serves as a private secretary.
Nicol Andrea López Balbuena also has a salary of more than 165 thousand pesos per month. It is also a close collaborator of Monreal, but unlike Yebra, it does have a degree. In the last legislature it was a technical secretariat of the Political Coordination Board of the Upper House, when the Zacatecan presided, and currently has the same position, but in that of deputies.
With an equal salary is Juan Carlos Colorado, who is a link secretary assigned to the Jucopo de San Lázaro.
Not only Morena has advisors, consultants, technical and liaison secretaries with high salaries. The opposition also enjoys that privilege. For example, in the Administration Committee, PAN has Luis Alberto León, who is a parliamentary consultant with a monthly gross salary of 148 thousand 840 pesos. The net salary is located at 104 thousand 789 pesos, according to the report of the first quarter of the year of the General Directorate of Human Resources.
He blue and white It also has among its collaborators Javier Lozano Alarcón, who is attached to the same committee with a monthly gross salary of 100 thousand pesos, says the same document.
The case of Marco Antonio Pérez Ruiz stands out for his low experience in the legislative field, since being an advisor to the Ministry of the Environment in Baja California, private secretary of the municipal president of Tijuana between 2019 and 2020, and municipal delegate, became a parliamentary consultant in the administration committee with a monthly gross salary of 149 thousand 840 pesos and a net of 104 thousand 769 pesos.
The General Directorate of Human Resources places at least 34 officials operating as advisors, counselors and secretaries of various ranks with juicy salaries, exceeding 100 thousand pesos. Among them there are also collaborations of PT and PVEM, allies of the Guinda match.
