Some said the President of Mexico caused laughter or criticism from people, even got him into trouble inside and outside the country
If any president deserves to be remembered for Mexican its curious phrase, that's Vicente Fox
From the beginning to the end of his administration, Fox appealed to those who not only caused laughter or criticism from people, but also got him into trouble inside and outside Mexico.
phrases that, while back before he began his formal presidential campaign six years ago began to sprout from the mouth of Fox as president from the moment he assumed office on December 1, 2000 when his address to Congress in the inauguration and first broke the fees waved to her children, "Ana Cristina Hello, hello Paulina, Vicente and Rodrigo. Honorable Congress of the Union. "
And then, never stopped.
Just weeks before the end of his term, in early November, the U.S. network Telemundo announced a record that had sold the English agency EFE in an interview with the president.
"I'm free, I say any nonsense. It does not matter, total, and I'm going," Fox is heard saying in comments prior to the interview with the English agency made on 31 October.
Since the beginning of its mandate, the press found a vein in a president who at times went beyond the prepared remarks and improvised phrases.
But the story was passed on many occasions to criticism against the president to use expressions that are considered by some showed a man who forgot that before a citizen was the head of the Mexican and forms had to be careful.
One of the most quoted phrases is one that he told the Cuban president Fidel Castro, after a summit of UN funding was made in the northern city of Monterrey in April 2002.
"I accompany the meal and then you go back," Fox said Castro, in a private conversation released by the Cuban government and in which the Mexican asked his colleague to avoid using the summit to fight with George W. Bush. Although concerned, bilateral relations entered a higher cooling process that, albeit with ups and downs, not yet fully restored.
The phrase was synthesized by the press to "Comes and go", who perhaps became more famous than the original appointment.
2005, another phrase caused international anger. On May 13, said that Mexican migrants do "jobs that not even blacks want to do back in America."
expression caused irritation in both Mexico and the United States, to the extent that the Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, activists and leaders of the black community in the nation, traveled to Mexico to demand an apology from Fox, which never made on the grounds that his words were misinterpreted.
similar situation, although no impact abroad, occurred on February 7, 2006 when compared to women with washing machines.
"75% of households in Mexico have a washing machine, rather than two legs or two legs (But) a metal washer, "Fox said immediately, received harsh criticism at home and even a government agency against discrimination asked to avoid using sexist language.
" I never realized the power of his word , a word, I hope someday will, "said the columnist of El Universal, Kathia D Artigues, who has followed from its space, among other things, the verbal nonsense of public figures.
For the Mexican writer Guadalupe Loaeza, the sentences reflected the president "as a man who understands politics, a limited man, too rustic, with no sophistication, very uneducated, very illiterate.
And among the many sayings that came to mind the writer found a pair that does nothing to help the president.
"What about me why?", said President Fox told reporters when asked about a conflict between the Mexican television Channel 40 and TV Azteca.
