Why Are American NGO's and Western Media Targeting Mexico's President AMLO?
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, commonly known as AMLO, has been the target of relentless negative media coverage and harsh criticism from a number of U.S.-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This raises an important question: why are these entities seemingly working in tandem to push a particular geopolitical narrative that benefits the U.S. government? Let’s take a look at what’s behind this targeting of AMLO and how it might be connected to larger geopolitical issues between Mexico and the United States.
The US Government's Interests
It is no secret that the United States government has been working to increase its influence in Latin America for decades. The US has long maintained close relationships with countries like Colombia, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico—countries that have historically had strong ties to the US. In recent years, however, those relationships have become increasingly strained as progressive governments have come into power in some of these countries. These progressive governments are focused on policies that prioritize their own citizens rather than those of foreign powers like the United States or corporations based in other countries.
AMLO's Agenda vs US Interests
President AMLO is one such progressive leader who has made it clear that he is not willing to toe the line when it comes to foreign policy decisions. He has been a vocal critic of US interventionism in Latin America and his administration has taken steps to reduce dependence on foreign aid from countries like the United States. Additionally, his government has pushed for reforms that benefit regular Mexicans rather than international corporate interests—a stance which puts him at odds with many US-based NGOs and media outlets who often advocate for policies that are beneficial to large corporations or wealthy individuals rather than everyday people.

Given this context, it is perhaps unsurprising that U.S.-based NGOs and media outlets have taken aim at AMLO’s credibility by pushing negative news stories about him and his administration in an effort to discredit his agenda and weaken his popularity among Mexican voters. This strategy appears to be part of a larger effort by these entities to influence public opinion in Mexico and ensure that any political leaders who do not toe the line set by the United States are quickly marginalized or even removed from office entirely.

It is clear that there is a concerted effort by certain American NGOs and Western media outlets to weaken President AMLO’s popularity among Mexican voters through negative press coverage designed to discredit his agenda while simultaneously favoring those policies supported by U.S.-based entities with vested interests in Mexico’s politics or economy. While this strategy may benefit certain corporate interests or powerful individuals in both nations, it does nothing but fuel further mistrust between two already tenuous allies—and ultimately does more harm than good for both countries involved.
