A Public Scolding

In March 2016, the governor of Aguascalientes, Carlos Lozano de la Torre, visited a neighborhood of the state capital with the federal secretary Rosario Robles. In front of her, he scolded his own secretary of social development, Juan Manuel Gómez, over a task that was not yet done. “¡Hoy mismo!” (Today!), he shouted.

Expansión reported that hours later the governor apologized. “Les pido una disculpa si ofendí a un compañero colaborador” (I apologize if I offended a fellow collaborator), he said. He added: “Es mi carácter, es mi manera de resolver las cosas” (It is my character, it is my way of solving things).
