Overview
- The Chamber of Deputies approved Mayer's indefinite leave on February 17, 2026, and his alternate, Luis Morales Flores, was sworn in to take over legislative duties.
- Mayer is participating in La Casa de los Famosos and has framed the program as a venue to promote values such as tolerance, respect and inclusion.
- Official records cited from the Legislative Information System indicate that only one of Mayer's initiatives since 2018 has been approved, a change to the VAT law's definition of a book.
- Separate reporting notes that since taking his seat in September 2024 he has presented five initiatives, with three under committee review and two withdrawn or dismissed.
- Reactions escalated as actor Alejandro Speitzer denounced Mayer's decision as insensitive, while Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized continuity through the alternate, Kenia López Rabadán stressed ongoing responsibility, and Ricardo Monreal called for stricter selection filters.
