Nicola Porcella Draws Backlash After Saying His 'Blood Is Mexican' on Mexican TV

The remark came during a Mexican TV therapy segment that pushed him to reconcile with his country of birth.

  • After initial resistance, he repeated the specialist’s phrases, including acknowledgments of being born in Peru and honoring a new life in Mexico.
  • Peruvian hosts Magaly Medina and Rodrigo González criticized his stance, arguing he should not reject his origins.
  • Coverage in Peru highlights a divided public response, with criticism and defenses of Porcella circulating on social platforms and entertainment shows.
