A Morena councilor burst into the key handover ceremony for Isabel Díaz Ayuso in Aguascalientes to protest the state's lack of water.
The incident took place during a solemn session at the Teatro Morelos, where local authorities were presenting a recognition to the president of the Community of Madrid.
Morena councilor Martha Márquez took the stage holding a banner that read “No tenemos agua”. She protested for several minutes against the homage, arguing that the state faces urgent problems such as the shortage of drinking water.
The ceremony turned chaotic at times, with shouts from attendees demanding that Márquez leave the stage. After about five minutes, the councilor withdrew and the event resumed.
Díaz Ayuso later received the Freedom Medal from the Congress of Aguascalientes and spoke about the historical ties between Mexico and Spain.
