The critique by Verónica Malo: López Obrador, division and abuse of power in Mexico.

In the current context of Andrés Manuel López Obrador's government, criticisms of his administration have reached a new level of intensity, especially regarding his confrontation with the organization Mexicanos Contra la Corrupción y la Impunidad (MCCI). Verónica Malo, a political analyst and critic of the current regime, has expressed her opinion on the lack of true state leadership from the president, suggesting that his approach has been more destructive than constructive. Malo points out that López Obrador's rhetoric, centered on the idea of a "good people" who have endured the oppression of "conservatives" for centuries, has become a tool of division. In her view, this narrative is not only misleading but has also contributed to breaking social cohesion in a country already facing serious issues of crime and inequality. "Division as a banner has only left a fragmented and crisis-ridden country," she asserts, questioning whether this is truly the strategy the president wishes to pursue. López Obrador's recent attack on MCCI, in which the president focused on discrediting the organization during his usual morning conference, is not an isolated incident but part of a series of attacks that now total 265 mentions against it. Malo argues that this organization has been fundamental in the fight against corruption in Mexico, providing crucial information that allowed López Obrador to build his discourse during electoral campaigns. However, the situation has taken an unexpected turn, as the very organization that helped him rise to power is now being attacked for exposing corruption within his government. One of the most controversial points of these attacks has been the use of sensitive information about MCCI and its employees by Pablo Gómez, head of the Financial Intelligence Unit. Malo contends that this action represents an abuse of power and a crime, as the disclosure of financial data without the consent of those affected violates the law. "The morning conferences have become a space where illegalities are committed with total impunity," she states. Furthermore, the analyst emphasizes that the money received by MCCI from U.S. sources has been completely transparent and registered with the Tax Administration Service (SAT). In contrast, she raises questions about the lack of transparency regarding the income of López Obrador's family members, questioning why the standards are applied differently for civil society organizations and the government. Despite Gómez's accusations that MCCI has not informed the country, Malo maintains that the evidence demonstrates the opposite, suggesting that the official himself possesses information that could only come from the organization he criticizes. "If MCCI were not informing the country, how does Gómez have access to that data?" she asks. Malo also highlights the danger of the attack on MCCI, as publicly exposing the salaries of its members can put their safety at risk. In an environment where organized crime has a significant presence, such revelations can be seen as a call to violence against those dedicated to the fight against corruption. The criticism extends beyond López Obrador's actions and his administration, suggesting that the weakening of the judiciary is a premeditated maneuver in which the president seeks to consolidate his power. Proposed reforms that threaten judicial independence are viewed as a way to control those who might oppose his decisions. Finally, Malo concludes that López Obrador's legacy seems to lean more towards division and resentment than towards constructive leadership. "He will go down in history not as a statesman, but as a manipulator who used the tools of politics to divide rather than unite," she declared. With the possibility of Claudia Sheinbaum assuming the presidency, concerns about the future of the country and respect for the law intensify. The trend in the current government, marked by abuse of power and lack of accountability, raises serious questions about the direction Mexico will take in the coming years.
