Wife of former Pemex director won't attend hearing to ratify pardon; argues she faces heavy media siege

The article reports on the absence of María Felicia Jiménez Lavie, the wife of former Pemex director Víctor Rodríguez Padilla, during a scheduled court hearing regarding his case of domestic violence. The victim’s attorney submitted a letter stating she would not appear in person due to facing intense media scrutiny, which has disrupted her ability to live normally. In a video call with prosecutors and legal advisors, she explained that she remains secluded at home with her children, especially the youngest, to protect them from public exposure. The letter also claims that media outlets have been harsh and intrusive, forcing the family to limit their outings. The court session was briefly adjourned, and the case will continue to determine the legal status of Víctor Rodríguez Padilla after the victim’s decision not to personally confirm her request for an alternative resolution to the criminal process.
