Left Reclaims Control Over NGOs

Mexico’s ruling left (Morena) is enforcing tax and anti‑money‑laundering rules to revoke dozens of NGO tax permits, liquidate noncompliant groups, and reassign previously outsourced government tasks back to state employees. The government frames this as curbing foreign interference and waste, while opponents call it democratic backsliding. — This signals a broader trend where ostensibly progressive governments use regulatory and fiscal tools to weaken foreign‑funded civil society, reshaping accountability and sovereignty debates worldwide.
