Mexico being a Central American banana republic, the new president may be facing more than the let's anger. He should watch his back very closely.

Mexico is a socialist country. It's not likely that the those who have controlled politics for a hundred years are going to allow anyone to upset their control.

My guess is that he is being called a "conservative" to make him a little more acceptable to Americans. If he's so conservative let's see him privative the oil industry.

No Mexican president can privatise the oil industry; he simply hasn't the power to do so. PEMEX is and will be a state monopoly until the Mexican Constitution is changed.

Mexico is a socialist country.

Mexico may want to be but they are too poor. There's little money to fund it. What socialist programs do they have? They don't even have unemployment insurance, which is why they run to America for jobs, free health care, and welfare. We are 100 times the socialist country they are.
