MEXICO: Fox accused of trying to manipulate elections
Opposition presidential candidates who have seen their standing in the polls decline in favour of the ruling party's Felipe Calderón claim that this is because President Vicente Fox has become 'Calderón's campaign manager' using his position to bombard the electorate with messages that favour 'his' candidate and denigrate his rivals.
