    The only entity is the Mexican Navy who could end the countriy’s corruption. They are impervious to corruption.

    I would have to respectfully disagree with painting Mexico in a bad light regarding corruption. I had an account with first national Security the company raided by the Mexican government in 2017. My safety deposit box was shipped to Mexico City and I assumed that some of my life savings were gone forever. Fortunately for me I had good advice from my bank (Scotia Bank) recommending a good attorney Antonio Castillo in Cancun. In which I would trust with my life in his hands. After many months ALL my possessions were returned to the last Peso. NOTHING WAS STOLEN !!! Why would you say that I trust the Mexican Government because foolishly we left the receipts for our purchases in the box with all of our possessions in other words who ever had access to the box had the receipts also. We could have been robbed blind and were NOT. I also know that to many people only read the bad news because GOOD NEWS DOES NOT SELL which is not the fault of the paper. Try selling good news for a month or so and you will be out of business period. Good luck with that option. on I final note I wish to thank Scotia bank employees David, Isabelle and Milton of the Trust department 3 of the finest people you will ever meet and I would trust my life in their hands also. They are truly concerned for and look after the customers concerns. unfortunately I have to leave Cancun this Saturday back to Detroit. Now If you think this is a made up story, I would be more than happy to answer your questions via the paper. Or privately if you wish. I understand privacy concerns.

    Don't see much chance in improvement re the corruption -- have worked in Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela
    and in all three corruption is a huge issue - it occurs at all levels of government and also in some industries -- everyone knows about it but nothing concrete ever gets done - unfortunately.

    I concur with Roger Snielz's comment

    Well, this time the voters showed a sense of reality. Unfortunate, but many of us feel Mexico has become a failed democracy, and there is little hope so long as the narcos in fact run the country.

    Corruption is in Mexico’s DNA
