Tulum Councilor Sparks Outrage With Private Jet Video

Tulum, Quintana Roo — A local councilor in Tulum is facing intense criticism after posting a video on social media showing himself traveling on a private jet.

Eliazar Mas (Tah) Kinil, a member of the ruling Morena party, shared the clip on his personal Facebook page. In the video, he is seen alone inside the aircraft, moving to a tune he hums.

The post quickly drew backlash, with many users accusing the public servant of flaunting a lavish lifestyle. Some commenters labeled his behavior as “miserable.”

Mas Kinil is the brother of former Tulum Mayor Victor Mas Tah, whose 2018–2021 administration was plagued by corruption allegations. After his term ended, auditors documented the mismanagement of more than 115 million pesos in federal funds and an alleged 21 million pesos in damages from substandard paving projects.

Public scrutiny has also focused on Mas Kinil’s use of the surname Kinil, which was his late mother’s second surname — a choice that has raised questions but remains unexplained.

The councilor is known for frequently displaying a luxury lifestyle on social media, including trips, aircraft use, and attendance at top-division soccer matches.

As of now, Mas Kinil has not issued an official statement regarding the source of the funds used to pay for these luxuries.
