Vicente Fox Unplugged

Re “Fox Plugs Bill for Energy Reform,” Aug. 21: It’s ludicrous to think that Vicente Fox’s “free-market agenda” helped him get elected as president of Mexico: That is the agenda of his core constituency only. Fox won the Mexican presidency because the Mexican people wanted to get rid of the old regime and realized that he was the candidate with the best chances of doing it. When it comes to advancing his political, moral, religious or economic agendas, he has to put up a fight. So far, he has failed to win many matches, and many Mexicans who voted for him are probably glad.
