Fernández Noroña: the best memes left by the US Congress proposal to withdraw his visa

Mexico's stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused great controversy in the international political sphere, in this regard, Texas Congressman Vicente González submitted a proposal to the Congress of the United States to request that at least 25 Mexican citizens, among whom the name dazzled by the deputy of the Labour Party (PT), Gerardo Fernández Noroña.

According to the Democratic legislator, the proposal was sent in a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. This action comes after the end of February, prior to the outbreak of the Russian attack on Ukraine, Mexican legislators installed the Mexican-Russian friendship group, which is why Vicente González accused officials of complicity in avoiding the free world and having chosen to side with tyranny.

Faced with the possibility that Fernández Noroña's permission to enter the United States will be revoked, users on social networks soon took the news with humor and, in this way, they unleashed their creativity to share funny memes about the situation faced by the deputy of the Labour Party (PT).

“The temporary election of this committee sent a clear message to the United States and the free world,” Vicente Gonzalez warned. He also indicated that despite the fact that President López Obrador himself “continues to take a neutral public stance in the face of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine”, “the actions taken by members of his own Morena party and others suggest otherwise,” and he concluded, considering it unfortunate that America's own neighbor has not already joined international democracies in condemning Russia and imposing sanctions on it.

In addition, Vicente González, a Texan congressman, called on both U.S. officials to take action against Mexicans, so that no one who supports Russia “is allowed the privilege of entering our country.”

In this regard, the deputy for the Labor Party (PT) used his social networks to respond decisively to the US congressman, who committed some errors in its request to withdraw their visas from Mexican officials.

In the face of the threats, Noroña called it “subnormal” and dedicated the following words to it on her official Twitter: “Your clumsiness is only the size of your ignorance: immeasurable.”

Fernández Noroña evidenced that there are several deputies on the list who do not belong to the current Legislature, and therefore are not part of the Mexico-Russia Friendship Group promoted, among others, by their parliamentary group.

These are the deputies of the last Legislature Pedro Daniel Abasolo Sanchez, Alfredo Porras Dominguez, Miriam Citlally Perez Mackintosh, Maria Roselia Jimenez Perez (who appears as Rosalia), Eraclio Rodriguez Gomez, Oscar Gonzalez Yáñez, Santiago Gonzalez Soto, José Luis Garcia Duque, Manuel Huerta and José Mario Osuna Medina.

“Fernández Noroña will miss his trips to Las Vegas if his visa is canceled, but he can go to Nicaragua, Cuba or Venezuela, to take advantage of those 'paradises'”; “Good day everyone except the legislators of the Mex-Russia friendship group because while war crimes have been committed in Ukraine, Noroña and other legislators continue to support Putin but yes, they asked the House Board to intervene so that the US does not take away their visas”; “They hate the United States, but they cry because they take away their visa to visit it. #Noroña”, are some of the comments of social media users.

In addition to mocking the situation of the Mexican politician, Twitter users used the hashtag #ChangoleonSinVisa to highlight Gerardo Fernández Noroña's physical resemblance to Samuel González Quiroz, better known as Changoleon. This character was a homeless man who rose to fame thanks to the Mexican television program Incognito, which Facundo hosted.
