Overview
- Rafael Olvera Torres, mayor of El Naranjo, posted a short video announcing a Father's Day celebration scheduled for Friday, June 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Salón Sindical de la Sección 97.
- In the recording he listed food, drinks, snacks, gifts, a comedy show and a mechanical bull and said there would be “chicas buena onda” to “put more atmosphere.”
- The mayor asked attendees not to bring children, suggested parents bring coolers with drinks, and told mothers to “let them go” so fathers could enjoy the event.
- The video was shared by local and national accounts and drew mixed reactions online, with some users treating it as a joke and others criticizing the language as inappropriate for an elected official.
- Local reporting notes no public apology or disciplinary action has been reported and observers say the clip highlights how direct social media outreach by municipal leaders can quickly widen controversies about tone, gender and child safety.
