GoKawiilNational Security Archive: CIA funded right-wing Mexican student groups before 1968 massacre
Researchers at Washington's National Security Archive say declassified CIA records show the agency ran at least five projects over two decades to influence student politics in Mexico, including funding right-wing groups like MURO and the IISE and working through ties to Mexican security officials Fernando Gutiérrez Barrios and Miguel Nazar Haro. The findings, drawn from a partially declassified 539-page internal CIA history, were reported by La Jornada reporters Jim Cason and David Brooks, who note the agency still withholds key documents about its role around the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre.
