The president of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obradorrevealed on Monday the content of the letter he sent on Friday to his American counterpart, Joe Bidenin which he asked to stop the “clearly interventionist attitude” of the Government of USA by financing Mexican civil organizations.
“I hope I can do something to stop this injustice that threatens our constitutional principle of non-intervention and self-determination of peoples.”the president revealed when reading the content of the letter during his morning press conference.
In the text, the Mexican ruler reminded Biden that he has long “publicly” denounced those who since Washington They have had an “interventionist” attitude by financing organizations such as Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity (MCCI)whose main purpose, he argued, has been to attack his Administration.
López Obrador said that between 2018 and 2023, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) allocated 111 million pesos (5.91 million dollars) to MCCI.
Although he acknowledged that the amount is “relatively small,” López Obrador described the procedure as “completely offensive.”
“Even though it is a relatively small amount, this procedure is completely offensive and contrary to the relations of respect for our sovereignties that both you and I have been cultivating for the good of our nations.”he stressed.
López Obrador concluded his message by emphasizing his hope that Biden will take steps to stop this “grievance” and noted that, although he values the personal relationship between the two, the issues of freedom and independence of peoples are paramount.
“I hope I can do something to stop this injustice that threatens our constitutional principle of non-intervention and self-determination of peoples.”he noted.
“I’m sorry to address you directly on this subject. Believe me, I appreciate you and I don’t want to bother you in any way, but as you understand, the issues related to the freedom and independence of peoples go beyond personal feelings.”he concluded.
Last week, Mexico’s Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) revealed that the civil organization MCCI, which has denounced corruption scandals of the current government, including officials and children of López Obrador, allegedly receives money from the United States.
According to the agency, MCCI’s income began to be recorded in 2016, and by 2023 it totaled a little over 502.58 million pesos (26.7 million dollars), while from 2017 to 2023 it received just over 13 million pesos (690,000 dollars) from accounts originating in the United States.
In 2023, the US Government’s USAID admitted funding of more than six million dollars to MCCI, an organization founded by the businessman Claudio X. Gonzalezan open opponent of the López Obrador government. EFE (I)
