Overview

  • Multiple outlets report she obtained Spanish nationality via the 2022 Ley de Memoria Democrática and established residence in La Moraleja, Madrid, with her 18-year-old son.
  • Reports rely on ABC and unnamed diplomatic sources, but the Spanish Embassy and Foreign Ministry have not publicly confirmed the details and Gutiérrez Müller has not issued an extended statement.
  • The relocation revives memories of her influential role in drafting Mexico’s 2019 letter demanding a royal apology for the Conquest.
  • Spanish commentators such as Arturo Pérez-Reverte posted ironic criticism of what they see as a contradiction between her past demands for apologies and her new residence.
  • Morena leaders including Luisa María Alcalde publicly defended her right to live abroad, calling opposition scrutiny unwarranted.
