Ulises Fernando Bernal Miramontes

Ulises Fernando Bernal Miramontes, formerly the chief of a Mexican engineering guild, has become newsworthy due to his involvement in a racist incident during a World Cup match. He was seen making a derogatory gesture, pulling at the corners of his eyes, towards a South Korean fan. This act was captured on video and widely shared, leading to significant backlash. As a consequence of his actions, Bernal Miramontes has lost his position as the head of the engineering guild. The incident has drawn international attention, with FIFA inviting the targeted fan to a future World Cup match to promote a message of inclusion and respect, coinciding with the International Day for Countering Hate Speech. Bernal Miramontes has since issued an apology for his behavior.
