Goodbye to Calderon

No, no estamos hablando de lo que dijo Porfirio Muñoz Ledo. Hablamos de lo que dice la revista inglesa The Economist, quien considera que Felipe Calderón, al igual que Vicente Fox, parece encaminarse, desde ahora, hacia un largo y complicado (awkward) adiós:

Energy reform is hardly the president’s only problem. His first big gamble, deploying the army to confront drug-trafficking gangs, is also looking shakier. Mr Calderón was at first widely lauded for his get-tough approach. However, the outcome has been more violence, with headless bodies appearing almost daily. (...)Even though Mr Calderón’s overall approval rating hovers above 60%, according to an August poll by Reforma, a Mexico City newspaper, his ratings on specific areas drop sharply: only 34% for public security, 31% for jobs and 25% for efforts to combat kidnapping. The result is that the president and his party go into next year’s mid-term elections in a weakened state. As with Mr Fox before him, Mr Calderón’s bright start may be followed by a prolonged, awkward goodbye.

Héctor Aguilar Camín escribió sobre este artículo y dice que "una de las críticas más duras que pueden hacerse a Calderón es compararlo con Fox."Y tiene razón ... nadie pensaba que fuera fácil repetir el papelón.
