Given this, THE PYLON rejects that a news item published by this media outlet on June 29, 2022 about the current candidate for Mayor of El Paso, Luis Alberto Murgas, was used, in which they claim that “eagerly seeks to return to power” despite having an investigation against him by the Prosecutor’s Office.
The true news published in 2022 was about the prosecution of the former official by the Prosecutor’s Office for the crime of contract without compliance with legal requirements by the hospital of the La Loma district.
The fake newsdated October 8, 2023, whose headline is ‘A former mayor who is eagerly seeking to return to power is charged with unfinished work and embezzlement by appropriation (theft)’, it was not published in the media and it is a montage.
