According to him, it is pure politicking. “In terms of acts of violence, why does an award-winning American journalist (Seymour Hersh – ed.) claim that the American government sabotaged the gas pipeline linking Russia to Europe?” – estimate RIA News Speech by Lopez Obrador at a press conference.
He also reminded Washington of Julian Assange. If the United States talks about human rights, journalism and freedom of expression, then why is Assange in jail, the politician asked. Speaking about the primacy of democracy, the Mexican president referred to the situation of former US President Donald Trump, who announced his imminent arrest.
Lopez Obrador added that this criticism of the United States should be taken in a friendly way – it is expressed in the hope that it will no longer see itself as a world government. “I speak on behalf of friends…to see if they change, because now, as they say in common parlance, it’s already the end,” he added.
Recall that the American journalist, winner of the Pulitzer Prize Seymour Hersh wrote that the United States had carried out a secret naval operation to destroy the Nord Stream. According to Hersh’s investigation, American divers during the NATO Baltops exercises in the summer of 2022 planted explosives under the Nord Streams, which the Norwegians activated three months later. US authorities have always been the only suspects in the attacks on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, Hersh said.
