Vicente Fox: “You have to give people preparation, not money so they can slack off”
The former president of Mexico welcomes the shift of Latin America to the most radical right and states that there is a weariness towards left-wing policies.
Twenty-six years ago, Vicente Fox Quesada (Guanajuato, Mexico, 84 years old) defeated the PRI and became Mexico's first alternating president, at the head of the right-wing Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) candidacy. Today, he recalls with nostalgia the golden years of the transition, of which he was a protagonist and beneficiary, and describes with annoyance the institutional erosion for which he blames Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Claudia Sheinbaum.
Fox has just returned from Peru, where he witnessed Keiko Fujimori's swearing-in, and he seems enthusiastic about the arrival of right-wing governments in the region; a shift for which he has a simple explanation: “When after two or three populist governments there are no results, people say: Enough is enough.”
