For my blog
on international news from a Catalan newspaper, I decided to look at la
Vanguardia, because I know it is the most popular newspaper in this
region. The article was about the newly
elected president of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, and his plans for the future of the
country. He is drastically trying to
change Mexico for the better, so that its citizens can live prosperously and in
peace. Although I have heard about the
country’s crime issue, I did not realize how big of a deal it really is, and it
is the first thing Nieto is going to change for his people. I also did not understand that this organized
crime has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people caught
in the struggle.
The article said that the president
wants to improve the national economy and allow the people of Mexico get out of
poverty. It was said that millions of Mexicans
don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Additionally, he wants to add human rights
including a universal pension system which will promise to help financially the
bosses of the family. After reading what
I could understand from the article, it seems that this president is going to
do a lot of good for his country and I got the feeling that he really does have
a strong passion to change Mexico for the better. I hope that he can actually fulfill all that
he has promised, but only time will tell.
