MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Public information in Mexico is becoming more difficult to access under President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a civil rights group said on Wednesday as it showed that scores of government databases are no longer updated.

More than 70% of databases on the website for the national transparency institute, which hosts public information, have not been updated for at least two years, Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity (MCCI) found.
