Mexico questions USAID contributions to anti-graft group

[Aljazeera] Mexico has sent a diplomatic note asking the United States to explain funding for an anti-corruption group critical of the government, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said shortly before a scheduled call with US Vice President Kamala Harris.

Lopez Obrador said the formal protest was sent because of funding for Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity, a group that investigates political corruption. He said the group is seeking to undermine his government.

"It’s promoting a form of coup," said Lopez Obrador, describing funding that includes money from the US Agency for International Development, commonly known as USAID, as an affront to Mexico’s sovereignty.

"That’s why we’re asking that (the US government) clarifies this for us. A foreign government can’t provide money to political groups," he said.

Say what ?

There simply wasn't time to funnel the money through the normal Non-Gov't Agency (NGO) cut-outs and Deep State money laundry systems. We had to make certain it got into the right hands.

#2 The US government is all about providing money to political groups. That's what we've done in foreign countries for decades, while we pretend to know what we're doing.

#3 I thought Biden signed an EO against "foreign interference in politics".
