The protesters accused Puebla\u2019s mayor, Jos\u00e9 \u201cPepe\u201d Chedraui, and his officials of backing P\u00e9rez Xilotl despite his lack of legal legitimacy.  <\/p>\n<p>A union representative stated, \u201cWe are against the current mayor and his officials, who are corrupt. Our union exists, but the leader no longer does. That is our grievance.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>The demonstrators also claim that the current leadership is withholding workers\u2019 funds, directly impacting their families\u2019 livelihoods. They have already filed formal legal complaints, with lawyers now handling the case to stop these alleged abuses.  <\/p>\n<p>If the Puebla City Hall does not provide a clear response, the naranjitas warned they will continue with dialogue sessions and further protests in the coming days.  <\/p>\n<p>Adding to the tension, the protesters accused the municipal government of colluding with the PAN political party to maintain control over the union under P\u00e9rez Xilotl\u2019s leadership. They revealed that on May 26, 2026, a lawsuit was filed to nullify P\u00e9rez\u2019s re-election.  <\/p>\n<p>The union singled out Jorge Morales Galindo, a PAN member, as the key link between the current Morena administration and the union leadership. Morales Galindo reportedly receives two salaries: one as a consultative analyst earning 19,700 pesos monthly, and another as the legal representative for P\u00e9rez\u2019s group\u2014paid through deductions from sanitation workers\u2019 rest periods.  <\/p>\n<p>This protest highlights ongoing struggles for transparency and workers\u2019 rights within Puebla\u2019s public services, underscoring the importance of accountable leadership and fair labor practices in the city\u2019s evolving political landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, members of the Organismo Operador del Servicio De Limpia (OOSL), known locally as the \u201cnaranjitas\u201d for their distinctive orange uniforms, gathered in front of Puebla\u2019s Municipal Palace to demand the ousting of Salvador P\u00e9rez Xilotl from the leadership of the Ricardo Flores Mag\u00f3n union.
