Laura Bozzo Mexican Nationality Petition Blocked By Lawyer; Televisa Host Remains Hopeful

Laura Bozzo has a mission and it is to become a Mexican national so she can continue helping the needy through good causes and actions as she did in her native country of Perú. Although there was a petition to block the 62-year-old from becoming Mexican, that was not enough to deny her that right. Now a lawyer is asking the National Institute of Migration to stop the process that the Televisa host initiated to obtain the Mexican nationality. For Manuel Alejandro Vázquez Flores the hope that he succeeds is there, but it might prove to be more difficult that he had initially anticipated.

"They didn't want to see the document and they took three hours to see me," Vázquez Flores told Reforma. "From the 18th floor a person came to see the document and told me that 'this has already been resolved.' Everything points to this work that was in benefit to the Mexican citizens did not work and that apparently they already decided on something. It makes us see that there can possibly be a case of corruption here." Vázquez had already asked for the deportation of Ms. Bozzo from Mexico, but that failed as well as he has received no response. If the lawyer doesn't receive a response in three months he will go to the federal judge to have this problem sorted out.

The Peruvian host came under attack late last year after Mexican journalist Carmen Aristegui called her out on her rescue efforts in the devastated areas of Guerrero after a strong storm hit. Aristegui had two witnesses on her program that revealed Bozzo was there primarily to make a spectacle for her daily talk show with camera crews to capture her descending moments from a helicopter. It was later proven that the helicopters were public resources that Laura was using for a personal use instead of using them to help out those in need. After all this scandal, Bozzo still feels hopeful that her dream of becoming Mexican will become a reality and doesn't care what the lawyer is doing to block her. "It is going to become real, my dream of being Mexican. There are no favors and I am not interested in what that man has to say," Laura said. "My battles are with the big leagues, not with him. My worries now are with Venezuela and that we pray for a solution for all the people that live over there."
