The revelation that an agency of the U.S. Department of State has been funding an opposition group in Mexico provides further evidence of the real functions of USAID.

The U.S. Agency for International Development, which according to its hierarchy is dedicated to philanthropic purposes, has granted five million dollars to Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity, an organization created by opposition businessman Claudio Gonzalez.

Interestingly, the USAID funding began immediately after the triumph of Andrés Manuel López Obrador in the 2018 elections, since it did not materialize in the immediately preceding period.

The details, explained in detail by the head of the Financial Intelligence Unit, Pablo Gómez, are part of a report requested by the President of the Republic himself to demonstrate the interference and violation of sovereignty by the United States.

The investigation has received the utmost attention from the government of AMLO, as the head of state is popularly known, who said he would send a letter to his U.S. counterpart Joseph Biden, in addition to the course of a parallel diplomatic note.

This is not the first revelation about the interference of the Northern power, since the first president already sent a letter to Washington in 2023 to regret the plan to increase resources to opposition civil organizations in Mexico.

One of the directors of Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity added fuel to the fire by stating that the group receives donations not only from USAID, but also from the NED, the National Endowment for Democracy.

These are tools par excellence of the U.S. government to intervene in other nations, such as Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela, always with the argument of promoting democracy in the world. 

The largest of the Antilles is a particular target of the actions of these entities. Through the State Department, NED and USAID, they lavishly finance anti-Cuban lobby organizations in Florida and elsewhere.

Now, in Mexico, the aforementioned entities are faced with the timely and forceful denunciation of a government that jealously guards its sovereignty and independence, hence its public denunciation of such practices, which deserve international rejection.
