MEXICO: US visa cancellation ruffles feathers
The decision of the US government to revoke the visa of Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, a son of Mexico’s former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024), has sparked much controversy in Mexico. President Claudia Sheinbaum and the ruling Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) – the movement López Obrador founded – have rejected the move as politically motivated and denied any wrongdoing on López Beltrán’s part. The political opposition, meanwhile, has seized on the move to resurface past corruption allegations surrounding López Beltrán, and his alleged links to a major fuel smuggling ring in particular.
