The Guerrero Green Party water sports scandal

More on this outrageous scandal in Guerrero:

Federal secretary of health, José Ángel Córdova Villalobos, lamented that a Fernando Reina Iglesias, president of the Environment Commission in the Acapulco city council and a member of the Green Party to boot, had used a state helicopter for personal recreation. How about having him arrested?

The helicopter was purchased in order to help marginalized indigenous communities gain access to health facilities. Now, it turns while Reina Iglesias was instead repeatedly using the helicopter training to break the Guinness speed record on water skiing behind a helicopter, in the state of Guerrero, 126 poor women died in remote communities for lack of sufficient medical attention during their pregnancy.
