I don’t know what to make of this Obrador character running in Mexico. He’s supposed to be populist yet super leftist...he might be surprising who knows. Thoughts?
Mexico’s image is one of widespread corruption and I’ve seen enough TV news from Televisa via Galavision in this country to understand that people in that country are very discontented.
People blockade highways in protest and no one comes around in terms of law enforcement to tear the roadblocks down.
People are murdered and so on as well including journalists routinely, another one gunned down in recent hours according to the German news agency DPA.
Obrador is channeling that discontent it appears from a distance as best I can see it.
As President I’m certain he would try to shake things up but can he make things better is anyone’s guess.
POSTING in Mexico, it is now 433 p.m. and FB reports, looks like the Mexican Election is going to really be challenged. Friends went early, voting sites opened 2 hours late in many places, and at 1 30 they ran out of ballots. Looks like in many other places this is happening. Everyone is running around with cell phones and putting on social media, but we are facing a crisis. Stand by for more NEWS.
