Since Andrés Manuel López Obrador took office, the Mexican government has awarded at least 12 contracts worth nearly three million pesos to La Nueva Televisión del Sur, better known as Telesur.
This is a multi-state public media outlet created by former President Hugo Chávez and funded primarily by the governments of Venezuela and Cuba.
In all cases, the contracts are intended to promote official campaigns on the website, targeting non-Mexican audiences. Among news stories supporting socialism and the Nicolás Maduro regime, messages originally created for Mexicans are disseminated: campaigns such as PrevenIMSS, government reports, the Mayan Train, and even the National Reading Strategy.

Agencies such as the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) and the Interior Ministry, as well as the Mexico City government, have funded Venezuelan public media through direct grants.
