Controversies
Bernardo has been part of several controversies. As the president of María Mohor Zummers Foundation, he was sued by the board of the foundation for prohibiting the entry of others to the headquarters of the organization and converting it into his own residence and office. Bernardo's lawyer responded that he didn't allow anyone else to enter because there was a theft by the directors of board and they had gotten upset.

Bernardo was also accused of acquiring a BMW for a test drive and not returning it. Bernardo's legal team denied the charge, saying they would file complaints against the owners for the insults.

Sustenta Comunicaciones, an agency that worked with Bernardo for his presidential campaign, accused Bernardo of not paying for services.
