In the framework of the mission carried out by the OAS as an observer in the midterm elections in Mexico, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard lashed out criticism against the secretary general of the organization, Luis Almagro, amid tensions about his administration.

During the morning conference on Friday, the foreign minister was questioned about the government's position on the visit from the organization. In this regard, although Ebrard acknowledged that Mexico does not prohibit the participation of those types of international organizations, he stressed that they have an opinion against the secretary: "Of course, Mr. Almagro's administration has been the worst in history."

The foreign minister stressed that this opinion has been issued directly to the SECRETARY GENERAL of the OAS and the reasons for making this criticism is that Almagro has acted "repeatedly without consulting the member states. He acts as if he is autonomous or assumes that he does not need to consult the member countries and that has been a recurring problem during his administration."

Another point that he highlighted against is that he considered that he has had "very dubious and questionable actions to intervene in internal processes such as the case of Bolivia, which was opprobrious, because they practically facilitated a coup in a country that had an uninterrupted democratic life in recent years."

It is worth remembering that Mexico received Evo Morales during his exile and the former Bolivian president also launched harsh criticism from Mexico against the organization for accusing him of being "at the service of the empire."

In addition, last year the country did not support Almagro for continuing to head the institution and instead backed the former Ecuadorian foreign minister, María Espinosa, who ultimately did not succeed, so he managed to continue as the head of the OAS for 5 more years.

However, with these harsh statements, Ebrard recalled that the organization has been participating in the electoral processes in the country for several years and that Mexican politics is not opposed to these missions.
