This is the best summary I could come up with:
“There are a lot of wasteful agencies that do not serve any purpose,” President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said.
He vowed to send a bill to Congress to eliminate the federal anti-monopoly commission and agencies regulating telecommunications, the energy market and access to government information.
The president has accused the anti-monopoly commission of trying to block his efforts to increase the power of government-owned oil and energy companies.
López Obrador’s dislike of any kind of oversight, including separation of powers, has been a hallmark of his administration.
He has sought to cut funds for the judicial branch and eliminated requirements for environmental impact statements on government projects.
The watchdog groups were created by López Obrador’s predecessors, often to regulate areas that were once state-dominated, like the oil and electricity industries.
