Controversies

On September 22, 2020 Pérez-Alonso posted on his Twitter account a mockery allusion to Senator Citlalli Hernández' weight and added a pig emoji.

One day after, the Universidad Iberoamericana decided fire Pérez-Alonso's and terminate him as a lecturer in all classes. The University stated that he had made "an offensive and denigrating comment on Senator Citlalli Hernández", something opposed to the university values in the context of fighting gender violence. Pérez-Alonso apologized to all those he had offended and also said he is seeking specialized counseling on gender awareness and training “to rectify and correct any type of violent, discriminatory and offensive behavior in me.”
