If he lives long enough to make POSITIVE changes. It will be up to the drug cartels to decide.
Well said amigo. Mexico has a mountain to climb.
In your opinion, will the entrenched powers-that-be let him do what needs to be done?
I wish him well, too.
His Presidency ended due to the cancer from budget deficit.
“But here at home, there’s another threat - a cancer gnawing away at our nation’s health. That cancer is the budget deficit. Year after year, it mortgages the future of our children.”
I remember seeing “NO mas mordida” bumper stickers back in the early 90s but it’s stronger than ever thanks to the cartels.Something that ingrained in Mexican culture will not go away easily.
“Is he a Hugo Chavez in sheep’s clothing or a genuine reformer? Time will tell.”
If he is mainly a wannabe leftist dictator, we will see early efforts to control the organs of repression within the Government - police, military, judiciary, intelligence.
If he is a genuine reformer, we would see his early efforts aimed at the economy, education, crime and corruption.
If he is really more the political opportunist, we will find out later about many racket, kickback and payoff efforts to monetize his office.
Likely he will have to do some combination of the above, while juggling the incredible complexity of International affairs and a whole culture of 100 million people.
As you say, time will tell.
I pray that God helps him and his Administration turn toward the good when they can.
He will fail, a year from now well be talking about how mexico is sooo socialist
