Mexico is a nation where a huge % of its people still live in poverty. My wealthy friends have been saying things like “Mexico will become Venezuela under the Moreno party”. The best way to stop that from happening is for the government to do its best to raise the standard of living for those in the bottom economic class.
I visited Venezuela before the dictator Chavez took over and the country was essentially made up the extremely rich with an almost single source of wealth ,oil, a tiny middle class of mostly those in service to the oil industry and an overwhelming population of the extremely impoverished.
Mexico is not Venezuela Mexico has a varied growing economy and a growing middle class. Helping those at the bottom is what will prevent a Venezuela from happening here.
That said, the new President has her work cut out for her. There is still so much corruption to overcome.

The direction Mexico is proposing is nothing like what is happening in Canada these days. Thank God.

There is lots of opportunity for anyone and everyone who wants to work hard and play fair to get ahead.

To all these Mexico naysayers, please leave the country to develop how it feels it best should. Claudia Sheinbaum is a patriot and smart woman who received an overwhelming mandate. Give her a chance.

The comments and frankly the politicians miss the salient point : in the absence of checks and balances business (FDI especially) will be damaged and/or robbed thus dissuading new investment in the face of friend shoring opportunity (never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity)

I cannot comment on the Mexican Judiciary but as practicing lawyer for 44 years in Alta California, I can assure you that all State judges from the trial courts to the state.Supreme court are subject to voter confirmation/retention/election. And especially with your comments I do wonder whether the judiciary is unfairly imposed on the people in Mexico

Let the Mexican people run Mexico as they see fit.

A popular vote on Supreme Court judges may not be a bad thing considering the Alito and Thomas scandals.

By no means is Mexico following Canada’s footsteps.

By the way, it’s not that AMLO claims that the judicial system benefits the corrupt elite. This is well known and documented. The list is very long of judges letting white collar criminals as well as Narco’s off the hook. This has been the history of the judicial system for many years.

We can see how well things worked out in Canada the last 8 years with similar socialist dogma. A once prosperous nation now with a declining standard of living. This is not a recipe for building a successful wealthy nation….quite the contrary.
