What he meant to say was…. During the Fifth Health Forum, President Fox clarified his statements regarding Felipe Calderón being the winner of the presidential elections to a foreign correspondents --he meant that Calderon is the winner of the July 2 election, and added that in a few more weeks he will hand over the torch to the next president who will be confirmed by the Federal Electoral Tribunal. Rubén Aguilar, the Los Pinos spokesperson, made it clear that the Independence Day celebrations will be carried out just like they have in the past --in Mexico City’s Zocalo.

Ana Maria,
What he meant was vaya con dios, perdedista. Felipe, you are my new amigo. The chachalaca has spoken, hear the roar.
This Fox Reloaded amigo, crazy like a fox!
To negotiate, there most be a willingness to negotiate, and an agreement about the terms of the negotiation. The difference between the Coalición and other political forces is that the Coalición isn´t acting like a political actor willing to negotiate and to agree about terms, but like a gangster that tries to extort a ransom from the other actors. I am not complaining about the way the Coalición acts toward its enemies, but about its refusal to explain to the people. As a citizen, I have a right to know the ends and means of the Coalición.
