Washington, the great arms supplier in the world: AMLO

Mexico City. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador yesterday questioned the moral authority of the United States Department of State to make judgments on the situation of fundamental guarantees in other countries, when it is the main supplier of weapons of mass destruction in the world, which cause the loss of lives.

You need to be brave to still want to act as judges in matters of human rights after approving this policy; that is very serioushe noted in his morning conference.

The president demanded that the State Department review the legal basis of its suggestions to other nations, because he considered that they violate the sovereignty of the people. They they are nobody to issue letters of good conduct, he stressed.

For the third consecutive day and without asking a question, he disqualified the State Department’s position to justify the dissemination of that report: “they have issued it since 1977, yes, but it is something anachronistic and outdated. Which is to inform the Senate about who behaves well and who behaves badly, ‘so that we can give help to those who behave well.’ That is false”.

He argued that since the 1960s, when the Alliance for Progress operated, during the mandate of John F. Kennedy, the United States has not provided resources to the countries in Latin America, and that the only support that has reached the region is of a military, as happened in Mexico with the Mérida Initiative.

He criticized that instead of addressing the causes of growing regional migration, Washington approves millionaire allocations for Israel or Ukraine, in agreement between the two parties, which reflects the American double standard.

I would like with all my soul that they would change this foreign policy, because it does not do any good for the people, but it does not help them either. It is an outdated, old, anachronistic policy that is more than 200 years old.

He also disqualified the origin of the data used by the State Department to prepare its report, because they are based on the junk information from our adversaries.

He cited the case of the alleged promotion of messages against the president of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, Norma Piña Hernández, based on a note from a Mexican media outlet that he described as unofficial.

That’s the State Department, but it’s laughable; It is even cruder than what Claudio X. González or Loret de Mola says, who are like statesmen, diplomats, compared to this.

–Is this the response to the United States government spokesperson who justified the report?

–Yes, yes, but it is not with the intention of polemicizing; Just clarify, because they pay a lot of attention to what other countries do (…) they see the speck in another’s eye and not the beam in their own.
