You might as well do some research too, nobody works 8 hours a week but the most fortunate, and minimum salary is nowhere near perfect if you realize that food prices are almos unreachable relative to it. Only about the lazy senadores and diputados you have it right.

HE should learn english! a master in harvard with such a bad english? his speech, we have heard it so often. Is he in disneyland? all the poor people, corruption, the nature being destroyed, our empty schools, teachers in prison, he forgot these? instead he is fighting a ghost, while the big criminals are inside the police! he says we have oil, but jet we import most of our petrol and diesel from the US. Nighter under FOX nor now will he manage to produce a new energy policy! new salinas!

Not with a represantative sistem that only represents small groups.. there has been a huge electoral fraud.. lots of political prisioners... mexico is becoming a worse place ... at the goberment level

oh my god you guys are a bunch of complainers. the World wasn't made in one day. Mexico is becoming a great nation. There is a price for every good thing. You just watch, in 20 years Mexico is going to be a nation to recon with.

food is way way more expensive in mexico since workers spend a major percent of their poor income to buy the minimum to survive. Employers can (And do) change their employes contracts every six months so the workers don´t get any rigth to health or other law written services. we (workers) are suposed to wrok 8 hoyrs..but we are forced to work even twice taht without extra paying...or loose our sad works

I would say, you should do some research before talking about things you dont know. In mexico people work max. 8hrs a day. In case u have to work extrahours then you get paid double per each hour but this happens rarely. Minimum salary might not be perfect yet, but you should always considerate things according to the country. Food among other things are much cheaper in Mexico if you compare. And one of our problems is the lazy people sitting in the congress doing nothing for the country.

We???.. you mean you!!! Get over it, Obrador didn´t win the election, he knows it, his party had the chance to fight it within the institutions but couldn´t just because they were so inept to recall which of the votes had to be recounted. Had López Obrador behaved as the "democrat" he claims to be, he would have already assured the Presidency for 2012. Now he has the lowest popularity in his carreer and of course erased himself from the political chart.

Which people?, which of his policies are to be suffered? He´s working fine and he is doing a good job. Still Mexico is not going to solve its problems during his administration, nor the next ones, it takes a lot of time to make a profound change. Mexico´s worst enemy is itself, we have a cultural problem which can be solved only by a collective will. A single man cannot move a mountain.

Well, we do need investment to develope jobs, of course our minimum wage is not where it should be, but it is also a simbolic number. While our salary conditions are way far from the US, very few people make the minimum salary. There´s a labor reform in process to make our policies more realistic but still it´s not the president´s decision to make but the congress´. The back problem is our lousy sence of labour starting from the bussiness men to the working men. We lack of a true laboral culture
