I'm very VERY very angry.

Mexico has a supposedly autonomous institution whose duty is to guarantee transparency and legality of political elections. When it was established, it was respectable. However, since a couple of years ago, when the first top officials were replaced, the new ones were too involved with political parties, so they discredited themselves. So not only they are not doing anything of what they are supposed to, but they have also destroyed a big part of what had been built to "protect" the democratic processes, so flawed all over the years in Mexico.

Yesterday it was announced the top officials are going to increase their salaries 100%, as if they deserved it!

The president makes a bit over 10,000 USD a month. If people don't react to impede what they are planning, they would be getting 20,000 USD (some 16,000 €) a month!!
As if this country (and the crisis) would allow it!



I must be going crazy or the brandy's won the race 32
