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.

Medical helicopter used for ski trips: Mexican Green Party (PVEM) in a nutshell

From the Mexican Green Party (PVEM) - the only rightwing environmentalist party in the world, mind you - we bring you Fernando Reina Iglesias, president of the Environment Commission in the Acapulco city council:

After being caught by the press, the councilor admitted that he had used a helicopter purchased by the Guerrero state's secretary of health to for medical transportation from Guerrero's poorest and most marginalized areas... to go skiing.

The helicopter has so far not been used for any sort of medical purposes whatsover, but for private trips by outgoing governor Zeferino Torreblanca, and for the barefoot-skiing-at-241 km/h-behind-a-helicopter- exercises of Reina Iglesias.

There are a few occasions where I simply just don't find the words, and this is one of them.
