Alarm at Mexico bill allowing elections to be annulled for ‘foreign interference’
Opposition says constitutional amendment would give bill ruling party carte blanche to overturn will of voters
Amid fierce criticism from opposition groups, Mexico’s senate has passed a constitutional amendment to include “foreign interference” as grounds to annul election results in the country.
The bill, which was presented by the country’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, defines foreign interference as “illicit financing, propaganda, the systematic dissemination of misinformation, digital manipulation, and the intervention of foreign governments or agencies”.
