Alessandra Rojo de la Vega bot farm allegations against Morena figures, Digi Mart USA News: Cuauhtémoc Mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega has accused officials of the ruling party Morena of using public resources to operate bot farms that attack, insult and offend her on social media, including with gender-based violence. The column notes that the mayor’s government reported 51 stories on X, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook criticizing her administration.
The columnist, Martín Aguilar, writes that the bot network is linked to Citlalli Hernández, president of Morena’s National Elections Commission, and that she could be the party’s candidate for the borough. He says he personally experienced attacks while she was a senator during the early years of the López Obrador administration, and that he was placed in a government protection program as a result.
Aguilar says the attacks continued after he published a July 21 article criticizing Hernández’s record at the Secretariat of Women, and that he was told by government officials that several Morena leaders were believed to operate bot farms. He also states that four of the 51 stories focused on the mayor’s personal appearance, such as her footwear and facial expressions, rather than government actions, which he says could amount to political gender-based violence.
The column also says the mayor’s government is investigating federal deputy Arturo Ávila for using bot farms on behalf of the Morena caucus. Rojo de la Vega, according to the column, acknowledged that genuine citizen complaints deserve a response.
