Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Monday responded "yes" when asked in a morning press conference whether he thought the United States was using its ambassador to interfere in domestic affairs.
Last Thursday, US Ambassador Ken Salazar labeled a judicial reform that would see judges elected by popular vote a threat to Mexican democracy by exposing its judiciary to the influence of organized crime, and said it put the US-Mexico trade relationship at risk.
Lopez Obrador had last week blasted the critique as "interventionist."
