Journalist Lourdes Mendoza, a contributor to El Financiero, made the issue public on social media, pointing out that the ranch was an expansion of the former villa of singer-songwriter Armando Manzanero, and that it grew considerably during Peña Nieto's administration.

In his tweet, Mendoza even criticized the senator with comments like , "He went from living in a low-income housing project to a country club," questioning the ethical consistency of a publicly compromised official. With information from El Financiero and Sol Yucatán
