Ana Maria, Fox has thrown down the gauntlet. He said yesterday that he will be reading his Informe in San Lazaro. That might explain the Lopistas' antics. I sense a turning point.
As soon as Calderon is certifyed president-elect, Fox will be able to again set the political agenda for his last months in office.
