On February 26, tens of thousands of Mexicans came out in Mexico City to protest the controversial electoral overhaul law passed by Amlo\u2019s party, reports the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/mexico-government-andres-manuel-lopez-obrador-caribbean-54e8347ec86aeae788d7f551a695a000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With democracy seemingly on the decline around the world, including in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/freedomhouse.org\/report\/freedom-world\/2022\/global-expansion-authoritarian-rule\/reversing-decline-democracy-united-states\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">United States<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the Mexican president\u2019s statements may not be so far off from the truth. Part of the strength of Mexico\u2019s democracy, however, stems from the very institution Amlo has just weakened with his new law. The law passed by the Mexican Senate by a 72-50 vote margin, would reduce funding for the National Electoral Institute (INE), which has conducted independent elections in Mexico since 1990. Before the introduction of an independent electoral commission, Mexican elections were rife with controversy and corruption as the country was subjected to one-party rule for nearly 70 years, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2018\/10\/5\/mexico-president-elect-amlo-lost-2006-elections-due-to-rigging\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Al Jazeera furthers that the INE was not immune from its own controversies, however, the greatest of which occurred in 2006 when Amlo lost the presidential election by a razor-thin margin of 0.6 percent. His party filed election lawsuits and requested recounts, but the INE (known then as the IFE) denied his party\u2019s petitions. This led to weeks of mass protests in Mexico from Amlo\u2019s supporters, who alleged fraud and mistrust in the electoral system was reignited. Amlo was later elected in 2018 in a landslide victory, leading his popular Leftist coalition, Morena, to win majorities in Congress, reports <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-latin-america-44646478\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BBC News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Amlo was a popular former mayor of Mexico City and led a populist campaign that denounced the high salaries of federal bureaucrats, like INE commissioners, and called for more money to be spent on the poor. Even today, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.as-coa.org\/articles\/approval-tracker-mexicos-president-amlo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Council of the Americas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, his popularity remains at nearly 60 percent, one of the highest for a Mexican president in recent years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amlo is term-limited, however, and won\u2019t be able to run for reelection. Despite his popularity, leftist leaders in Latin America have faced challenges from the establishment institutions in their countries and have faced coups in countries like Honduras in 2009 and Bolivia in 2018. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2017\/08\/29\/honduras-coup-us-defense-departmetnt-center-hemispheric-defense-studies-chds\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Intercept<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2020\/sep\/18\/silence-us-backed-coup-evo-morales-bolivia-american-states\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guardian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> both report that both these coups were supported by the U.S. government, so Amlo\u2019s response to the U.S. State Department is understandable. Even in Peru, former leftist President Castillo faced impeachment attempts from the political establishment from the beginning of his presidency after defeating the right-wing daughter of the country\u2019s former fascist dictator, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/americas\/perus-fujimori-admits-defeat-presidential-election-lashes-out-socialist-rival-2021-07-19\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. While Castillo\u2019s subsequent actions of suspending the parliament to avoid another impeachment were unjustifiable, Amlo continues to support the former president and has denounced his ousting as a coup, reports <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/americas\/mexican-president-repeats-asylum-offer-perus-castillo-backs-elections-2022-12-19\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Amlo\u2019s fears may be justified, one thing remains clear: the U.S. has no leg to stand on to defend democracy in Latin America. The single greatest obstacle to democracy in Latin America over the past 50 years has been U.S. interventions, usually to overthrow popular leftist presidents, explains <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/revista.drclas.harvard.edu\/united-states-interventions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Harvard\u2019s ReVista<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Now is it a coincidence that the U.S. denounces Amlo right after, as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/commodities\/decree-adds-doubts-about-mexican-lithium-industrys-future-2023-02-24\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports, he decreed that his government would nationalize large lithium reserves in the country, an element critical to producing electric vehicles? Even if it is a coincidence, there is no doubt that it would spark fear in the Leftist president\u2019s mind. The United State\u2019s hypocrisy is on full display as it criticizes Mexico\u2019s electoral changes but has yet to denounce Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu\u2019s own massively unpopular judicial overhauls, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-protests-netanyahu-austin-defense-61b6f06243e0fc2ba968b4ee4ec379a3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The United State\u2019s unfettered support for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/report\/2021\/04\/27\/threshold-crossed\/israeli-authorities-and-crimes-apartheid-and-persecution?gclid=Cj0KCQjw2cWgBhDYARIsALggUhomUjkEK8RWeoSvTqKvRRHoMwN5W5jrWhE6xg4AlZnS-yk8q0Q-NUwaAsZUEALw_wcB\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apartheid Israel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and other authoritarian regimes across the Middle East shows the weaknesses in the Biden administration\u2019s supposed support for democracy worldwide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mexicans, and in fact citizens of every country, should be free to protest their own governments without U.S. interference. Amlo\u2019s actions should be criticized as the moves he has taken will only weaken faith in the country\u2019s electoral system. His accusing the protestors of Narco links does not help his claim either, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/02\/27\/americas\/mexico-protest-ine-amlo-intl-latam\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CNN<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The threat to democracy should also not be overblown, however, as Amlo has not as of yet acted outside the law or tried to stifle political dissent by cracking down on protestors. Mexican citizens will be allowed to make their voices heard at the next election, and while Amlo\u2019s opponents can point to recent electoral changes as reasons for potential losses, the fact remains that Amlo is still incredibly popular. At the end of the day, voters, not protestors, will render their judgment on the president\u2019s actions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Image Courtesy of Greensefa, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/greensefa\/8049984949\">Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On February 26, tens of thousands of Mexicans came out in Mexico City to protest the controversial electoral overhaul law passed by Amlo\u2019s party, reports the Associated Press.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5536,"featured_media":12298,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2496,7,384],"tags":[446,512,514,698,856,2510],"class_list":["post-12297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-march-2023","category-opinion","category-americas","tag-diplomacy","tag-protests","tag-united-states","tag-mexico","tag-democracy","tag-electoral-comission"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
