Trash Talkers

According to Humberto Moreira, elected officials of the Mexican government are too busy smearing his party to do their jobs.

Moreira, President of Mexico's Institutional Revolution Party said that it will be difficult to come to any policy agreements because members of opposing parties, especially some of President Calderón's cabinet members, are focusing their efforts on discrediting members of the party who hope to run for public office in 2012.

Moreira pointed out that this is especially ironic in light of President Calderón's recent calls for the nation to unite and address its problems.


"I see it as disloyalty towards the President," said Moreira, as reported by El Universal. "It's as if they see their time is running out and say, 'Let's see where we're going from here'.... they're hurting the most important projects of the country."


Unless politicians of every party place more importance on the people they serve and less on their personal aspirations, said Moreira, it will be difficult for the government to do anything until after the 2012 elections.
