Controversies
On September 22, 2020 Pérez-Alonso posted on his Twitter account a mockery allusion to Senator Citlalli Hernández's physical appearance.
One day after, the Universidad Iberoamericana decided to terminate Pérez-Alonso's contract 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.[7]
Later, Pérez-Alonso offered a public apology to Hernández for these comments.[8]
