Mexican Transparency
This morning I read two articles in The New York Times. One was about the growth of Immigrants by 16%. The other was an interview with the Mexican president.
Despite some videos shown on television proving that some ballot boxes were opened on July 11, Mr. Fox and Mr. Calderon refused to accept the facts.
Usually Mr. Fox statements had been frivolous and a source of scorn; for instance he had said:
“¿Yo Por qué?” (Why me?)When asked his opinion about a judicial conflict between two Mexican TV networks.
"Yo sí necesito mi pensión porque no he robado, yo sí la necesito, de eso vivo (...), porque regresar ahorita a buscar chamba está cañón, está grueso"("I really need my pension because I haven't stolen(…) To return right now to look for a job, it’s knotty, it’s uphill…”) Entrevista concedida a J. López Doriga el 13 de febrero de 2006
“You eat, and then you leave” ("Comes y te vas"), to Fidel Castro, when inviting him to the Summit of Monterrey
I remember another Mexican president talking about his critics saying:
“I Neither see them, nor do I hear them”. Ni los veo, ni los oigo
Since last April newspaper denounced the control of


Mr. Fox said “There is nothing hidden”. Indeed, there is nothing hidden, there are videos and tapes. There are also newspaper informing on the facts.

As a comic said on a TV program:
“No se vale que el interés de un partido esté por encima de los intereses de un país”
It's not fair that a political party's interests be above the country's.
