Felipe Calderón demands financial support for Pato Merlín

The former president says FIFA must compensate the duck's owners for using his image.

Former president Felipe Calderón Hinojosa criticized the designation of Merlin Duck as the official ambassador of Mexico City for the 2026 World Cup. On his social media account, the PAN member pointed out that FIFA and various media make profits from the image of the bird, so its owners deserve fair payment.

“Yes, very good. It came ‘as a gift’, but we shouldn’t leave it like that: they should give it royalties or good financial support, with all the money that FIFA, many media outlets in the world and others with the image of Merlin Duck are making,” he wrote.

Merlin is a two-year-old Peking duck with white plumage and orange legs. He went viral when he was recorded wearing a National Team t-shirt while accompanying his owners – Karla Gómez and her son Christian – to sell water on the streets of the capital. The family considers him another member.

Calderón insisted that the owner, “that little guy who raised him,” should not be left without options after the World Cup. “Get out!” he added, referring to FIFA.

The popularity of duck has crossed borders. International media replicated his story, and President Claudia Sheinbaum invited him to her morning conference, calling him a symbol of Mexican culture. The controversy over the commercial use of his image remains open.
