Andrés Cerón, a councilor from Morena in Puebla, was caught sleeping during work hours for the second time this month, sparking renewed debate about his commitment to public service. The latest incident occurred on June 18 in the council offices, following a similar episode on June 4.

Unlike his immediate response after the first photo went viral, Cerón has postponed his official statement until Thursday, June 25, when he plans to hold a press conference to “face the people of Puebla” with transparency and openness.

In his previous response, Cerón attributed the first incident to health issues, specifically chronic hypertension, denying any negligence. He described the moments captured as a necessary rest while waiting for medication due to a sudden health discomfort. He has reiterated this explanation regarding the second photo, calling the online criticism “inaccurate information.”

The upcoming press event aims to address the growing wave of public scrutiny on social media, where citizens have questioned his presence and performance during work hours. Cerón emphasized that speaking “with the truth” and engaging in an open dialogue with the media is part of his strategy to halt speculation and rebuild trust.

For many, this situation highlights the challenges elected officials face in balancing personal health and public accountability. Meanwhile, the conversation around effective governance and transparency continues to resonate deeply with Puebla’s residents and beyond.
