It is kind of nice to see a growing middle class with maturing Mexico... For those that want to keep it a poor play ground….STAY THE F..K AWAY.

Sewage and water treatment is a big issue that affects the health of every person. People in Mexico are suffering from water quality issues that damage their health and reduce their life expectancy. Even if you pay for clean drinking water the shower water that touches you is harmful and the ocean water is largely polluted in swimming areas to a degree that is extremely dangerous. Why not make water quality the number one issue to improve well being for Mexican people who could be against that? It's not impossible it just takes planning and execution.

AMLO, reminds me a lot of Governor, Jerry Brown, in California, and I expect great things from AMLO.

AMLO, is already on the right track.

So much for "Plan Mexico" with the cancellation of $1.2 billion dollars worth of military helicopters.

However, except the multinationals and Lockheed-Martin, to be very upset, with López Obrador, and we will be hearing talk of socialism, because López Obrador, would rather save that money for the people of Mexico, than some US defense corporation, and the politicians on both sides of the border who have their hands out for the piece of the action.

AMLO will cancel purchase of 8 Seahawk military helicopters

The navy has ordered eight of the aircraft for US $1.2 billion

Andrés Manuel López Obrador won’t be sworn in as the next president of Mexico for more than four months, but he is already moving ahead on campaign promises.

Since these were for drug interdiction purposes, could this be partially to fulfill his campaign promise to shake hands with the cartels?

Darn it, hit the Post paywall. Shaking hands with the cartels if it reduces the violence might be a good thing to do.

People seem to forget AMLO has to work with a Congress full of good old boys of all sorts. If he manages to bring down the violence, that alone will be a job well done.
