In a disqualification of his performance, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador criticized non-governmental organizations Because they are used, not only in Mexico, but in the world, to mediate transformations, changes, or they are simply put at the service of hegemonic governments.
. He even accused that There are human rights organizations that always want to manage human rights violations.
.
He expressed his open difference against these groups which, he said, From my conception they were created during the neoliberal period to divide, to split the social problems or the essence of social problems.
. For the most part, they did not believe in transformations, that is why They voted against us or called for us not to vote
as was the case in Chiapas: What was happening in Chiapas with that influence that still predominates? The conservative bloc swept away
.
During his conference, he dedicated a space to this criticism of organizations dedicated to the defense of human rights because these positions They affected us a lot
. He mentioned that he went to Chiapas on numerous occasions, despite which the Subcommander Marcosof the Zapatista Army of National Liberation defined it as that I was the snake’s egg
; that they would carry out the transformation.
That is why these groups are now upset, he said, because the transformation has been achieved. “And instead of acting honestly, saying ‘how good that there is no more repression, that there are no more missing people, that there are no more low-flying flights, that there is no more torture, that the Army is not used to repress the people’, instead of that, ‘no, it is the same, the same as the right’, that we do badly so that the transformation does not continue to advance. That thinking is very sectarian and very selfish.”
