Mexican president-elect Claudia Sheinbaum will be sworn in on October 1. In the meantime, outgoing president Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) is still very much active and now part of a new international diplomatic controversy with the U.S.
On Wednesday, AMLO criticized the U.S. funding for a Mexican anti-corruption nonprofit group called Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity (MCCI), announcing plans to send a diplomatic note to the U.S. government in protest. According to AMLO, the body is aligned with conservative opposition forces in Mexico and should not receive foreign funding or tax-deductible contributions.
