Mexico's president has expressed strong opposition to U.S. funding for a Mexican anti-corruption nonprofit group, citing concerns about foreign intervention in the country's affairs. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador criticized the group, alleging its ties to the conservative opposition and questioning its eligibility for foreign funding and tax-deductible contributions.

López Obrador disclosed detailed financial information about the group, revealing that it had received approximately $685,000 from U.S. charitable foundations over the past eight years. Additionally, he claimed that a larger sum of around $5 million in recent years had allegedly come from the U.S. Agency for International Development, which falls under the State Department.
