Consensus

Mexican pols are cutting deals and making things happen, and Alberto Aziz Nassif can't believe his eyes:

All of a sudden, as if we were in another country or in another moment in our history, several of the principal actors coincide on some important public policy projects.

Felipe Calderón presents an anti-crisis [economic] program and his biggest critics affirm that it has the correct focus, only they indicate that the program was maybe a little late [in arriving]. Carlos Salinas supports said program and López Obrado signals that the construction of the new refinery [part of the program] in the country is positive, and he even sees it as a triumph of his movement. At the same time, the senators of all the parties agreed on the approval of energy reform. The deputies approved the Law of Revenues unanimously, a rare word in the Mexican landscape these last few years. Maybe you could call all these decisions the strange days of consensus.
