There will be no more internal spying on opposition politicians, incoming president Andrés Manuel López Obrador said on Saturday, recalling that he was tailed for years by federally-employed spies.
There will be no more Center for Investigation and National Security (Cisen) either, following its dissolution as part of the new government’s austerity measures.
The newly-appointed public security secretary, Alfonso Durazo Montaño, announced the move on Saturday.
“Cisen disappears because it has been discredited due to the political use that was made of it,” Durazo said.
The incoming secretary said a new organization, the National Intelligence Agency, will replace it.
López Obrador told reporters that the new agency will not perform espionage operations.
“There will be no more spying on the opposition . . . what we suffered for years, when I was opposition. When I was in Tabasco . . . there was a car parked in front of my house, day and night, watching. If I went to the market with my wife, there they were behind me; if we went to the movies, there they were, watching the movie too,” he said.

That awkward moment when Mexico states its intent to be more free than America.
Good for this guy. And so far he has been cool with Trump.
But if anyone has his date of birth please send it to me. He would be a good person to buy and hold a life insurance policy on. A 2 year term should be enough.
I guess mexico is now more civilized than the US.
Yeah, Right.
Like when 0bama said that his would be the most transparent and scandal free Administration in history.
Everything that a leftist proclaims loudly, you can pretty well be sure that the opposite is true.
The only real question is which Cartel this guy actually works for, despite his proclaimed intention to destroy them all.
The opposition has all been murdered, duh!
For supposedly being such a leftist, these seem like rightward (rights-based) moves.
Maybe I’m an incurable optimist.
