Moreno is known for his controversial populist political antics at various times in official government events, involving at various times, different types of animals and live music. Moreno popularly refers himself in the third-person as “the Moreno” which in Spanish means “dark-skinned person”, which allows a playful use of his last name to refer to the underdog often discriminated peoples of dark skin as in the case of his political party “Dejen Jugar al Moreno” (“Let the dark-skin fellow play”).
