Attendons encore de voir... la moitié des mexicains ne le reconnaissent pas comme président; l'autre candidat (celui qui a apparamment réellement gagné l'éléction) refuse de reconnaître Calderon et menace de former un gouvernement parallèle; en plus de ça de nouvelles guerrillas apparaissent, ainsi que des mouvements insurrectionels.Pura Vida a écrit :L'élection du candidat mexicain Calderon

Il pourrait être chassé comme le furent plusieurs présidents d'Equateur et de Bolivie; ou il pourrait même y avoir une révolution de grande ampleur, comme du temps de Zapata et Villa.
Pour le momment le Mexique est le pays américain le plus instable et explosif politiquement de tous.

Marla Dickerson and Carlos Martinez, LA Times
Mexico is trying to make up for a projected shortfall in oil revenue by raising taxes on other quick-fix liquids: colas and carbonated drinks.
A proposal by the nation's new President Felipe Calderon would impose a 5% levy on soft drinks - and an additional 15% on cigarettes - to raise $1 billion next year. With Mexico's oil production falling and its economy slowing, Calderon's administration is scrambling to find additional sources of revenue. Calderon said last week that he would seek to impose the new taxes as part of his 2007 budget.
The proposal has raised the ire of Mexico's $10-billion soft drink industry. The sector has taken out full-page ads in national newspapers blasting the proposal as a job killer and a potential blow to Mexican consumers, who trail only Americans in their consumption of carbonated drinks.

Mexico, the world's No. 5 producer of oil, depends on it to fund 40% of its federal budget. Officials last year siphoned $54 billion from the state petroleum monopoly Pemex to finance public spending. High oil prices have resulted in tax windfalls over the last couple years but economists warn of a pending shortfall.
The nation's major oil field, Cantarell, is declining rapidly because of age. Production is down nearly 15% through the first 10 months of the year — more than twice the rate of decline predicted by Pemex officials last year. The company's worst-case projections show production plummeting to about 520,000 barrels a day by the end of 2008 — a nearly 70% freefall from October's average output of 1.65 million barrels a day.

By: MARK STEVENSON - Associated Press Writer
MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Mexico's state oil monopoly is in "critical" condition and needs to boost exploration and seek outside expertise to replenish oil reserves that are currently set to last less than a decade, energy officials said Sunday.
President Felipe Calderon, however, said during a ceremony marking the 69th anniversary of the nation's oil nationalization that there are no plans to privatize the industry and that Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, "will always continue to belong to all Mexicans."
Pemex's proven reserves have fallen to the equivalent of 9.3 years of production from 9.7 years in 2005, and daily output declined last year by 2.3 percent to about 3.2 million barrels, officials said at the ceremony in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz.
"The situation of Petroleos Mexicanos is critical and merits immediate attention," Pemex Chief Executive Jesus Reyes Heroles said.
The company currently transfers most of its income to the government in taxes and revenue sharing, leaving little for investment. Pemex sent 93.2 percent of its profits to the government last year, accounting for 37.5 percent of federal income.
At the end of last year, proven reserves were 5.8 percent lower than in 2005. And production at the Cantarell oil field, the country's biggest, fell by 11.9 percent last year.
"We should be conscious that this situation cannot go on," said Energy Secretary Georgina Kessel, referring to policies that bar Pemex from entering joint ventures and alliances.
She said Mexico must seek "complementary investment," especially in technology and scientific knowledge, in order to develop energy infrastructure projects.
"If we do not confront and resolve the problems posed by these challenges, the situation of Petroleos Mexicanos could be become unsustainable over the long term."
Mexico's constitution, however, currently bans private or outside investment in Pemex. Private companies are currently allowed to serve as outside contractors on specific projects.
"We have to invest, and invest seriously, in exploration and turn this situation around," Calderon said.
He said one option was to form strategic alliances to explore for new reserves in deep waters off the Gulf of Mexico.
Reyes Heroles said the company replaced 41 percent of production with new reserves last year, up from 26.4 percent in 2005 but well below the 100 percent, complete-replacement level officials are seeking.
In real terms, he said, Pemex's exploration budget in last year was 17 percent less than in 2005 and 42 percent less than in 2004.
Pemex funds many of its projects by assuming debt, which rose by about 9.8 billion pesos ($880 million) last year to about $51 billion. In addition, the company has about $40.7 billion in labor-related debts and commitments.
Reyes Heroles said Pemex remains the most indebted oil company in the world. He also said the company continues to be a target for fuel thieves, with 207 illicit openings discovered in pipelines or valves last year.
Officials also pushed for building more refinery capacity, noting Mexico now imports about 40 percent of its gasoline. The country is also a net importer of petrochemical products.
