Mexico has been in the grip of an on-again-off-again revolution for a century, during which time the nation has developed from a traditional, rather sleepy fragment of the old Spanish Empire into a dynamic, high-tech economy that is the second largest in the entire, gigantic region of América latina. The basic question is that of Mexico's path to the future. Will Mexico follow the path recently persued by Argentina and Spain towards a modern democracy or will Mexico follow the US model of oligarchy and militarism? Mexico's middle class and autochthonous people are the wave of the future.

Good Lord...Apparently you did not get the memo that Mexico chose the oligarchy over 70 years ago, and are ruled by industrialists and military...Carlos Slim has more power than their President......... :oyvey

Peña Nieto Faces Fresh Protests During Argentina Visit

The Mexican president has been met with protests across the world, especially after the disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa students in 2014

Local mexican community takes to plaza de mayo
Teachers, students and the left rally to raise human rights concerns
Quote:
 
It fell to members of the City’s Mexican community, local teachers and committed activists of the left to protest the presence of Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto at the Pink House yesterday, with scores uniting in Plaza de Mayo ahead of his talks with President Mauricio Macri.

Peña Nieto visits Argentina with his own country facing a mounting human rights crisis, and it was clear under the bright sun and milder July temperatures that the Mexican government’s failure to curb widespread abuses that have occurred during that state’s ‘War on Drugs’ over the last decade would not pass his meeting with Macri unnoticed.

Teachers and Students: Tip of Iceberg of Mexico’s Human Rights Crisis
Quote:
 
Montevideo, Uruguay, Jul 14 2016 (IPS) - Mexico is experiencing a monumental human rights crisis. There is abundant evidence of widespread human rights violations in the country, including torture, extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearances and violence against journalists and human rights defenders.

As worrying as the hard data is, what’s even more worrying is the Mexican government’s continued refusal to acknowledge the situation. In the words of Yésica Sánchez Maya of Consorcio Oaxaca, a local civil society organisation, the State “is investing more efforts and resources in denying the existence of a problem that is apparent [to the whole world] than in actually solving it.”

Despite constitutional guarantees, the rule of law is incomplete and highly uneven in Mexico. In states such as Oaxaca, where protesting teachers recently met with violent repression, or Guerrero, where 43 students from a teachers’ college were disappeared and are presumed dead since 2014, civil society organisations and activists face powerful restrictions. These include violence linked to drug trafficking, the infiltration of local governments by increasingly diversified organised crime operations, pervasive corruption, police repression, and severe human rights violations by the security forces.
