Biography

From 2009 to 2012 Fernández Noroña served as Deputy of the LXI Legislature of the Mexican Congress representing the Federal District.

In 2016, he denounced the aggression and theft of cell phones by the undersecretary of government of Puebla, Luis Arturo Cornejo, in the administration of Rafael Moreno Valle Rosas, when he was trying to mediate to free political prisoners.[3]

He again served in the Chamber of Deputies, starting in 2018, representing Mexico City, elected in the Labor Party.

He holds a Bachelors in Sociology from Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Azcapotzalco.[4]

Controversies
  • On 21 May 2021 Noroña went to the office of Twitter Mexico to protest about the blocking of his account, due to violations. He was widely criticized after video surfaced of the incident, where he was shown to abuse the Twitter member of staff who received him. Noroña said in a belligerent tone: "I come to protest, if you don't like it because you think it's going to be discounted from your income then do not pose as if you were the owner.".[5]
  • In July 2021, he tested positive for COVID-19. He's been criticized for spreading COVID-19 misinformation, such as stating that face masks are not helpful in avoiding the spread of the virus. In January 2022, he tested positive for the second time.[6]
  • In 2022 PAN senator Lilly Tellez referred to Noroña as "Changoleon", the homeless person who became a TV personality in Mexico. Tellez said: "Pay attention to me Changoleón because you are the political arm of organized crime", referring to Noroña's political party, in alliance with the government party, Morena.[7]
