WILL MEXICAN PRESIDENT PENA NIETO’S POPULARITY TAKE A NEW NOSEDIVE?
Washington’s Friendly
Relations with Mexico in spite of Peña Nieto’s Unpopularity – compare that with
Venezuela:
In August a reputable
pole put his popularity at 27 percent, after the revelations
regarding the plagiarism of his BA thesis, recognized by the Universidad
Panamericana where he graduated from, and the Casa Blanca scandal in which he
asked Mexicans to forgive him for having bought a 7 million dollar house from
the construction firm that is the major contractor of his government. Since the
27 percent poll was conducted, Peña Nieto provoke the wrath of all Mexicans by
having the chutzpah to invite Donald Trump to the country, in spite of his anti-Mexican
racist pronouncements and his ludicrous call for building a wall separating the
two nations. Now the latest scandal is the case involving 11 women who were
raped by police under the most brutal circumstances under his watch, when he
was governor a decade ago. From 27 percent will his popularity reach 20 %, 15%
or 10%? But the real question is not that. The real question is will the Obama administration
call for regime change in Mexico as it has in Venezuela. Obviously not. Why
not? Could it have anything to do with Mexico’s friendly and generous policy toward foreign investment
which has increased by an annual rate of 50% under his administration?
