The 4T is being shielded from signals

The article discusses the institutional offensive by Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR) and the Mexican government against former U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar, which experts describe as a politically motivated media strategy aimed at protecting President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's administration (4T) from potential criticism related to the renegotiation of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (T-MEC). Experts Adolfo Laborde and Manuel Quijano argue that the legal actions taken against Salazar lack binding effect due to his diplomatic immunity under the Vienna Convention. They suggest the move is intended to shield the 4T from scrutiny over alleged ties between drug cartels and Mexican politics. The experts emphasize that while Salazar’s actions may damage his diplomatic career, they do not affect his political standing. The situation is viewed within the broader context of tensions surrounding the T-MEC negotiations.
