According to SDP News, Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller, writer and wife of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), has obtained Spanish citizenship and settled in the exclusive neighborhood of La Moraleja in Madrid.
According to information revealed by journalist Salvador García Soto, one of the main reasons for this move was the admission of his son, Jesús Ernesto, to the Complutense University of Madrid.
Why did she choose La Moraleja?
La Moraleja is known for being one of the most luxurious areas of the Spanish capital, home to international celebrities and famous soccer players such as Sergio Ramos, David Beckham, and Richard Gere, among others.
Gutiérrez Müller completed the necessary procedures approximately two months ago at the Spanish Embassy in Mexico, ultimately obtaining her citizenship.
Change of Plans: From Palenque to Madrid
At the end of AMLO’s six-year term in 2024, it was announced that the former president would live in Palenque, Chiapas, while Beatriz and their son would remain in Mexico City. However, plans changed due to Jesús Ernesto’s university studies.
The family’s last public appearance in Mexico was during the judicial elections on June 1, 2025. Since then, their move to Spain has been confirmed.
Beatriz’s Role in AMLO’s Policy Toward Spain
Salvador García Soto emphasized that Gutiérrez Müller was “the mastermind” behind the demand for an apology from the Spanish Crown for the events that occurred during the Conquest.
“She was the one who put the idea in AMLO’s head,” the journalist stated, recalling the former president’s speech in Comalcalco, Tabasco, where he called for historical reparations.
AMLO’s siblings are also seeking Spanish citizenship
García Soto revealed that Pío and Martín López Obrador, the former president’s siblings, are also in the process of obtaining Spanish citizenship. This would be possible thanks to Spain’s Historical Memory Law, which facilitates citizenship for descendants of Spaniards.
Their grandfather, José Obrador Revueltas, emigrated from Santander, Spain, to Mexico in the 1940s, which would allow them to access this benefit.
