The investigation follows public outcry over reports of excessive spending on these events. Comptroller General César Aguilar, in a recent press statement, confirmed the investigation, stating, "La Contraloría va a investigar todo... la Contraloría no se casa con nadie." (The Comptroller's Office will investigate everything... the Comptroller's Office does not side with anyone.) This statement underscores the office's commitment to impartiality and thoroughness.
