Overview

  • On August 8, 2025, Marcelo posted a court-ordered video apology acknowledging he used gender stereotypes against Mariana Rodríguez in a May 14, 2024 episode of his YouTube program RADAR.
  • Nuevo León’s electoral tribunal ruled his comments constituted verbal and symbolic violence in reason of gender and imposed legal sanctions.
  • As part of the decision, Marcelo paid a 21,714-peso fine and was added to state and national registries of individuals sanctioned for gender-based political violence.
  • In his statement, Marcelo conceded that freedom of expression must yield when commentary undermines women’s dignity in a violence-free electoral context.
  • Mariana Rodríguez has not issued any public response to Marcelo’s apology or the tribunal’s ruling.
