Residents of a municipal in southern Mexico forced the mayor of their city to wear women's clothes, roamed him around the city, then held him for four days, during which he begged alms from the drivers of the streets. The mayor angered residents when he failed to meet basic requirements such as water supply and other social facilities. According to the newspaper El Diario de Mexico, residents of San Andres, Puerto Rico, arrested Mayor Javier Jiménez, Mayor of Huicistan province, and walked him on the streets after wearing a black long skirt and a white ruffled blouse and embroidered flowers. They wore another official who was also negligent in his duty, Louis Tun, in a pink dress with white dots.
According to local media, the main complaints of citizens are that Jimenez has not kept his campaign promises, promising to allocate 3 million pesos (about $ 158,000) for improvements to the city's water system, among other things.
While the two officials were dressed in women's clothing and walking down the road, residents were carrying banners explaining what they saw as the failures of elected politicians. According to the newspaper «El Diario de Mexico» that the mayor regretted the lack of fulfillment of the promises of the population, and explained to the population that he was trying to keep his campaign promises. He said there is no longer any money in the government treasury, because it has been distributed to various municipalities. Residents Jimenez and Tun have also been forced to beg money from motorists on the road, many of whom appear to have made fun of them, and were meant to beg to raise money to improve the water system.
Residents are demanding an investigation into whether Jimenez stole the 3 million pesos, which he claims was distributed by the government to different groups of the population. In an interview with a local reporter, Jimenez said he was innocent and that he would accept an investigation. Forcing politicians who do not keep their election promises to wear women's clothing is a traditional way in many cities in the Mexican state of Chiapas, and politicians are often dressed as women forcibly. The question arises: what do female mayors wear? Men clothes?
