Mexican Politics in Action
The other day I was walking in the Centro when I came upon this big to-do. Mexico's next presidential election is on July 2 and the most popular candidate with the laborers, Lopez Obrador, was visiting Morelia. His visit brought countless busses packed with people coming to show their support. I didn't stay long but everything appeared very organized and orderly.
Mexico has three political parties, PAN, PRI, and PRD though it is interesting to note that Vicente Fox, the current president, was the first non-PRI president in 71 years.
