Brazil's Foreign Minister Luiz Alberto Figueiredo declared that, if the reports are confirmed, they would constitute "an inadmissible and unacceptable violation of Brazilian sovereignty."
A statement from Mexico's foreign ministry reads, "Without prejudging the veracity of the information presented in the media, the Mexican government rejects and categorically condemns any espionage work against Mexican citizens in violation of international law."
"If true, it seriously violates national sovereignty," Rep. Fernando Zarate, secretary of the Mexican House of Representatives' Foreign Relations Committee and member of the Democratic Revolution Party, told CNN. "How is it possible that the telephone of a president is being monitored? What could an ordinary citizen in our country expect?"
Journalist Glenn Greenwald exposed the spying on a Sunday evening show of Brazilian news program Fantastico, citing documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden which revealed NSA programs that monitor email and phone communications of President Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.
This diplomatic row is the latest development in a spying scandal, exposed by Snowden, that has ricocheted across the world. It follows on the heels of revelations that Mexico and Brazil are heavily targeted by NSA spying programs that go after government and trade secrets.

Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
