MEXICAN PRESIDENT SENDS BIDEN A LETTER

CONDEMNING U.S. INTERVENTION

On May 2, 2023, Mexico's president sent a letter to U.S. president Biden condemning US “interventionism”, such as USAID funding of right-wing opposition groups that are trying to destabilize his elected government.

The letter has the following text: “For a while, the government of the United States, in particular the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has funded groups openly opposed to the legal and legitimate government that I represent, which is without a doubt an act of interventionism, violating international law and the respect that there should be between free and sovereign states.”

“Moreover, a few days ago it was announced that said agency will increase the budget given to organizations opposed to our government, as appears published on the official website of the State Department.”

Mexico's president, López Obrador, who is popularly referred to by his initials AMLO, is Mexico’s first left-wing president in decades. AMLO has nationalized the country’s lithium reserves and electrical grid, reversed the partial privatization of the oil industry, boosted social spending, and significantly increased the minimum wage.
