🔄 Shift in Perception of López Obrador in the U.S.

The perception of President López Obrador in the United States has dramatically shifted from being a somewhat positively viewed, charismatic, and austerity-living leader fighting against Mexico's historic corruption, to now being seen as an authoritarian president, hostile to investment, and friendly towards drug cartels. Recent criticisms highlight López Obrador's confrontational stance against the U.S., accusing his 'hugs, not bullets' policy of exacerbating violence in Mexico and contributing to drug-related deaths in the U.S. The Chicago Tribune, New York Times, CNN's Fareed Zakaria, and Bloomberg have all issued scathing critiques of López Obrador's policies and demeanor, particularly focusing on his energy policies and electoral authority undermining, which could potentially strain U.S.-Mexico relations. Additionally, López Obrador's refusal to be influenced by external pressures, including suggestions of U.S. military assistance, and a controversial decision allowing 5.5 tons of cocaine to circulate within Mexico for tracking purposes, have sparked scandal and highlighted contradictions in his administration's approach to drug trafficking and violence.

🚨 Controversial Drug Trafficking Operation 'New Generation'

The 'New Generation' operation, a controversial drug trafficking scheme approved by the Mexican government, allowed the transit of drugs through Mexico as part of a supposed strategy to trace and dismantle drug trafficking networks. This operation involved the transportation and controlled delivery of 200 kg of cocaine, 5 kg of heroin, 20 kg of methamphetamines, and 20 kg of unspecified synthetic substances, along with 2 million dollars for transactions, across Mexican territory. This plan, endorsed by Mexico, Colombia, and the United States, aimed at capturing or extraditing criminals through undercover agents and controlled deliveries. Despite the high risks involved, the operation was justified as a means to infiltrate and gain the trust of drug cartels. However, the revelation of this operation has led to criticisms of hypocrisy, as President López Obrador had previously condemned similar strategies involving arms trafficking, famously criticized in the 'Fast and Furious' operation. This incident exposes significant contradictions in López Obrador's stance on drug policy and law enforcement strategies.
