The idea that a government would list changing the way its people think as one of its foremost priorities is a bit unsettling, or at least unseemly. Others are the sorts of ideas that would be hard for anyone to oppose. Others are too vague to mean much of anything without some specific policy ideas attached.

La Razon had a rather gratuitous headline saying that AMLO's plan was inspired by Hugo Chavez. It's food for thought: http://www.razon.com.mx/spip.php?page=nota&id_rubrique=17&id_article=15461
Yeah, the "democratization of the mass media" defitely makes you think of Chavez. Then again, it could just mean opening the networks up a little, maybe forcing Televisa to sell off Unicable or or Galavision and doing the same to one of Azteca's networks.
On the whole though I didnt really see it as a nod toward Chavez. I dont think AMLO really nods toward anyone but himself.
