Mexican President AMLO acknowledged that the country's top human rights official, Encinas, had been targeted by a spying program, however, he attempted to downplay the situation by telling Encinas not to worry.

Title: AMLO's Disdain for Human Rights: Putting Mexico in Danger In a recent article by The New York Times, Mexican President AMLO was reported to have dismissed concerns regarding surveillance on human rights officials in Mexico. The article highlighted comments made by AMLO following the revelation that the country's top human rights official, Alejandro Encinas, was targeted by Pegasus spyware. It is alarming that the Mexican president would undermine the gravity of this situation and minimize the importance of protecting the rights of its citizens. Such reckless behavior obstructs the rule of law and fosters a climate of impunity that puts Mexico in danger. The responsibility of the government is to uphold the constitution and guarantee the safety and security of its citizens. Instead, AMLO is neglecting the concerns of human rights defenders, failing to take appropriate measures in response to the unethical use of spyware and turning a blind eye to the increasing danger posed by authoritarianism and surveillance. It is time for the Mexican government to take action and ensure the protection of its citizens' fundamental rights. We call on AMLO to demonstrate his commitment to human rights, reestablish trust in the government, and prioritize the safety and privacy of every Mexican citizen. Failure to do so would mean risking the fundamental principles that create the basis for a democratic and just society. El presidente de México reconoció que el principal funcionario de derechos humanos le había contado que fue blanco de un programa espía pero el martes intentó minimizar la vigilancia.
