Overview

• Gerardo Fernández Noroña posted a photo from the encounter and wrote, “me visitó un patriota, mi amigo Manuel Bartlett.”
• The Senate leader later said they spoke at length on important topics beyond energy but disclosed no purpose for the visit.
• Earlier in the day, Bartlett was seen meeting a collaborator at a hotel café on Paseo de la Reforma, according to Milenio.
• Mexico’s Gabinete de Seguridad recently stated that Bartlett’s son and his partner are not on the Lista de Personas Bloqueadas and that their bank accounts were not frozen.
• The renewed visibility follows weeks of media reports of a purported U.S. investigation linking Bartlett to the 1985 killing of DEA agent Enrique Camarena, which remains unconfirmed in public official records.
