Corruption And Poverty In Mexico

Mexico is a country that was inserted into the world economy through violence. Did you read about the Spanish conquest? A fire and blood invasion that turned the original inhabitants of this land into instruments at the service of the accumulation of merchandise in Europe. It seems this reality keeps repeating itself over and over again to this day, since it began about 500 years ago. Yesterday it was the Crown, nowadays it is a few millionaires here and there.
