I don't know about this new openness helping to stop US interference. Everyone knows about the CIA's influence in South America in the 60s and 70s, it's even taught in history courses. As we get closer to the present, what everyone knows is talked about less and less openly. With Trump's dislike of bureaucrats this has now changed- we're being allowed to discuss it again.
Of course it doesn't mean that US meddling is stopping. Look at Musk prancing about with the AfD. It's the same US hegemonic divine right to trample on sovereignty and environmental protections but with no USAID/CIA mask on.
