Mérida Moves Forward

The Mérida Initiative was approved today by the US Senate. In the near future, some $400 million will start flowing toward Mexico. And what about the conditions imposed on the Mexicans that had everybody so up in arms a couple of weeks ago? Not sure. The article in El Universal is short on details, but the headline is "Mexico Accepts the Terms of the Mérida Initiative," and the article is chock full of defensive quotes from Secretary of the Interior Juan Camilo Mouriño. This leads me to wonder if a groundswell of nationalistic opposition to the Initiative is in the offing.
