Governor of the Mexican state of Veracruz, Javier Duarte, is portrayed as justifying the need to carry 25 million pesos because the "tamales are this big."

Duarte is also depicted as needing the 25 million pesos in case his boss runs out of gel.

In this cartoon, the politician explains that the money is needed to pay for the upcoming festival, Dia de La Candelaria, on February 2.

Some Twitter users linked the hashlib to Mexico's upcoming presidential election:
