Senator Fernández Noroña Publicizes Bienestar Pension Card, Drawing Fresh Scrutiny

The 65-year-old lawmaker qualifies for Mexico’s universal senior pension, a legal entitlement not tied to income.

Overview

  • Gerardo Fernández Noroña posted a photo of his Banco del Bienestar card, writing “Feliz Feliciano, ya me llegó mi tarjeta del bienestar.”
  • The post triggered new criticism online, including a public exchange with Cuauhtémoc Mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega over his finances and property.
  • Fernández Noroña replied to detractors that receiving the support is his right and, in an earlier response to critiques, said, “Es mi derecho la pensión de adulto mayor y la cobraré.”
  • Reporting cites the Senate’s remuneration manual showing he earns 126,800 pesos per month in his legislative role.
  • The Pensión del Bienestar provides 6,200 pesos every two months to registered adults 65 and older via a personal, nontransferable Banco del Bienestar card.
