The letter turning by Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) to the president Donald Trump the last July is a clear and bad example of the path that Mexican politics is following. There is already know that AMLO have a real challenge, in internal and external scenarios. However, this letter and its writing tone, puts Mexico into a no favoring situation, either for national or international opinions.

The Mexican Foreign policy construction is recognized for be respectful but with strong statement “I don’t mess with nobody, if nobody mess with me”. Nevertheless in this letter, the Mexican president seems to forget the positioning part. In all the letter, the tone that it give is about submission, and even so asking permission to Trump to rule and make projects happen. It can be presume that this is a certain strategic of Mexican government to have a easy beginning with US president, bus as far as we know right now, it is hard to say.

One of the main points of the Peña Nieto political actions were the 11 Structural reforms in strategic economic sector such as telecommunications, energy, financial labor, treasury and others more. According with the government experts, the energy reform was the most important and necessary for Mexico. The opposition and the population claim against this idea, not just because of the lack of clarity in the reform design, but also because this significate a breakup of the petroleum fight of 1938.

The public opinion do not give a big impact in the government actions (a characteristic in this presidential period) and the reform was accepted in all political stages. Unfortunately, the corruption and the lack of a real strategic, provoked that the expected welfare get stock.

An event just comparable with the Student kills of the October, 2do of 1968, is the disappearance of 43 Ayotzinapan students.  This fortuneless episode happen the night of September, 26 of 2014, in Iguala, Guerrero, state famed as troubled for the Federal power since the Revolution times.

Around of 110 student steal 5 busses to Mexico City for the October, 2 commemoration. The official version is that the local police arrested the student and delivered them to a drug cartel called “Guerreros Unidos”. They thought that among the student there were members of a rival cartel. Therefore, the student were locked inside of two trucks and burned in garbage collect in Cocula. After, the ashes were collects in garbage bags and thrown again in the San Juan Lake.

According with global experts, that version is impossible, because of the climate situations of the moment and the description of the events. The International community was in shock, and some researchers come to Mexico to help in the investigation, however, the local authority give a hard time to them. The true is, that after of 4 years, there is not a complete answer about what happen that night, and this event remain as the big point black, not just in Peña Nieto president time, but in PRI history as well.

As was mention in the last post, since the begging Enrique Peña Nieto presidency was recognized, not just in local but also in International arena, as a period full of scandals.

The process of Elba Esther Gordillo, one of the most infamous politician and leader of Teacher syndicate, was put in jail after a many years of corruption. This action was seeking the legitimation of PRI return. The foreign bank accounts and the properties were confiscated during this administration, however, in 2018, with the regime change, Gordillo charges were dismissed and all get back to normal for her.

Other case is the Joaquin “Chapo” Guzman one. All the process was like to watch a Hollywood movie. Arrested, escaped through a tunnel, arrested again and extradited to United States to be find guilty. This episode is one of the most successful and embarrassing moments of Peña’s presidency.
