Only for those without the intelligence to think it through and see the political opportunism behind it.  |
Of course it has.

John Ackerman, UNAM law professor and political commentator, doesn’t have such an optimistic take on it. His argument is that a) Peña Nieto did this out of weakness, not strength. b) It isn’t analogous to the takedown of Hernández Galicia in 1988, because the PRI was in a very different position then. c) It comes down to a desesperado ajuste de cuentas entre políticos. |

Such is politics, here and everywhere. Would have been nice to see Ackerman discuss the fine line the PRD has walked with Gordillo, particularly in the run up to the education reform package, mainly in propping up internal corruption to keep a strong front to defend union interests a.k.a supporters. |

| If there's more corruption in Mexico or anywhere else in the world than in the US, please englighten me! Is it really politics that drives kahunas? |
