Mexico President Accuses Biden Admin Of Financing Anti-Corruption ‘Coup Plotters’ Group
May 10, 2021
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has lambasted the Biden administration for U.S. financing of an anti-corruption group in the country after a bilateral meeting with Vice President Harris on Friday.
Obrador alleged that the U.S. is financially supporting a group called Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity, a group of “coup plotters” that he claims are trying to undermine and overthrow the government.
“A foreign government cannot give money to political groups in another country. Our constitution forbids it,” said López Obrador.
“It’s treason,” he then added. “It’s meddling, it’s interventionism and it’s promoting coup-plotting.”
He was describing funding that includes money from the U.S. Agency for International Development, commonly known as USAID, as an affront to Mexico’s sovereignty.
