MEXICO: Calderón admits that more needs to be done
President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa
delivered his third state of the union address (Informe) at the Palacio
Nacional, rather than to the federal congress on 2 September. Calderón readily
admitted that what he had achieved in his first two and a half years in office
was "clearly insufficient." Such humility explains why Calderón retains such
high popularity (68% support according to the latest poll in a Mexico City
newspaper, Reforma) while his government and political party, the Partido Acción
Nacional (PAN), are unpopular.
