"In an interview with [Spanish news agency] EFE, Mexican journalist Anabel Hernandez accused the government of [President] Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of exercising a 'terrible censorship that suffocates' her new book 'The Secret History: AMLO and the Sinaloa Cartel,' in social networks and media.

[...]

'The president of the republic has a monopoly on communication, through his 'mañanera' [morning press conference], where he has already disqualified me and my work on several occasions. There are insults, there is machismo, there is misogyny,'  Hernandez said.

[...]

The book, based on dozens of testimonies and judicial files from the United States, narrates how the Sinaloa Cartel allegedly financed López Obrador's campaigns since 2006, until the mid-term elections of 2021, when his party, the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), swept almost all states."
