Moreno on Salinas

Martín Moreno says that Carlos Salinas is positioning himself to play a big role in the presidential elections in 2012. Too bad for Mexico. 

He also has some thoughts on Salinas' relationship with Ernesto Zedillo:

Ex-president Carlos Salinas de Gortari has always been characterized by two things: intelligence and grudges.

Moreno then runs down some of the memorable grudges that Salinas has acted upon, ruining careers for slights big and small.

Nevertheless, the man who he abhors the most is named Ernesto Zedillo, his successor in the presidency and the so-called favorite villain guilty of all his evils. On various occasions, including in his recent and invisible book, The Lost Decade, Salinas has tried to blame him for the economic catastrophe in 1994, without any success. He also can't forgive [Zedillo] for the fact that Raul, his brother, was sent to prison. With Zedillo, Salinas simply hasn't been able [to overcome the bitterness]. Zedillo today enjoys public recognition as much in Mexico as he does abroad. Salinas is a politician held in contempt in his country. Paradoxically, Zedillo also destroyed Salinas' career.
