Overview

  • The patrimonial declaration notes a November 2024 acquisition via credit for a property of about 1,201 m² of land and 259 m² of construction, without naming the lender or exact location.
  • Fernández Noroña says it is the house he had been renting in Tepoztlán, after earlier public remarks in April described the residence as rented, prompting questions about consistency.
  • He rejects any ties to organized crime, invites audits of his finances, and says he is unafraid of what jailed traffickers such as Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada may claim.
  • He published patrimonial filings of opposition legislators and contends that austerity applies to government spending rather than to officials’ private lives, adding that he has no personal duty to be austere.
  • His filings list two Volvo vehicles, a 1 million peso HSBC loan, and prior 2023 media and YouTube income; figures like Ricardo Salinas Pliego criticized the purchase, and no formal investigation has been reported.
