Obrador vows to end transparency agency

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president has returned to his morning press briefings after recovering from COVID-19, and he came out swinging. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, 69, said he had tested negative after his third bout of the coronavirus. His return came the same day that opposition legislators continued to hold protests in the Senate, after senators from López Obrador’s Morena party refused yet again to approve appointments to the national information-access agency. The transparency agency has been unable to function for more than a month because of a lack of committee members. López Obrador came out Friday and said the agency should be dissolved to save money.
