At his inauguration on 1 December 2020, Mexico’s president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (‘Amlo’) signalled his desire to be free of US influence by inviting his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolás Maduro, whom the US administration loathed. On the same day, he made a strategic pivot to the south by launching a Comprehensive Development Plan with El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
Mexico quickly showed its return to non-interventionism was not the same as indifference or passivity. It opposed pressure from the Lima Group (American countries that do not recognise Maduro’s government) but remained a member. It has also created new levers of action, such as the Montevideo Mechanism, with Uruguay and the Caribbean Community, to promote dialogue. In August 2019, in a Canal Once interview, Mexico’s foreign minister Marcelo Ebrard criticised US nostrums, ‘which can only lead to disaster’.
