Fox's Mexico Victory Bad News for Clinton-Gore
NewsMax.com
Satuday, July 7, 2000
Vicente Fox’s landslide victory in this week’s Mexican presidential election
was bad news for President Clinton, who insiders say tried to "manipulate”
the outcome and keep the winner’s conservative party from taking power.
Not lost in the minds of Fox and his party is the fact that Clinton’s
longtime political adviser James Carville served in the same capacity with
losing candidate Francisco Labastida, and they can’t be blamed for believing
that Carville was in Mexico because Clinton wanted him there.
Just how much this will influence Fox in his dealings with the United States
remains to be seen. But the Clinton administration’s tilt toward the
Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) is certain to be remembered by
members of the winning National Action Party (PAN), who won control of the
presidency and the Mexican congress after 71 years of PRI rule.
PAN also has seven state governors and nearly 300 mayors, many of them in
major cities, and is firmly in control.
If they hold the Clinton administration’s opposition against the president
and his party, they can’t be blamed. Fox and his fellow members of the PAN
have lots of reasons to harbor resentments. For years the PAN has been
ridiculed by the pro-PRI media, and PAN candidates were routinely harassed
when they dared to oppose the PRI in elections around Mexico.
"PAN candidates ran afoul of police, who would show up at meetings and unplug
microphones or detain candidates and their aides on grounds that they were
creating social disorder,” according to Friday’s Los Angeles Times.
"When the PAN became a more formidable foe in later years, the PRI stuffed
ballot boxes and, in some cases, stole them." "It was practically impossible
to win at the polls," Luis H. Alvarez, an 80-year-old PAN senator from the
northern state of Chihuahua, told the Times. Alvarez said he got "not a
single minute" of radio coverage when he ran as the PAN candidate for
president in 1958. Newspapers refused to carry the party's statements.
The Times cited the case of Carlos Castillo Peraza, who ran for various posts
in the state of Yucatan in the 1970s and 1980s before becoming the party's
national president. Castillo recalled that during his 1979 campaign, his wife
got an anonymous telephone call. "They said: 'Mr. Castillo was in an
accident, and he is dead. You can get the body tomorrow,'" Castillo recalled.
Another time, a caller warned, "We know very well where your children study -
pay attention." "It was not an exception, my case," Castillo told the Times.
"There were hundreds, thousands." Despite the rampant corruption and
involvement in the drug trade of top PRI members, the Clinton administration
clearly wanted the party to stay in power, critics say, pointing to the
Carville role in the losing campaign. They say Carville has played the role
of Clinton’s hired gun in the international political arena, noting that he
helped run the Barak campaign in Israel - a victory Clinton is known to have
wanted.
Carville’s role still stirs anger in Mexico, where he had a
multimillion-dollar contract to advise Labastida and Manuel Bartlett, a man
sought for questioning in the murder of a Drug Enforcement Administration
agent. He was also suspected of helping drug traffickers in the 1980s.
Even more suggestive of the Clinton administration’s craving for a PRI
victory was another one of those fortuitous decisions by Attorney General
Janet Reno, who immediately after Bartlett was named Labastida’s deputy
campaign manager declared Bartlett had nothing to do with drugs.
Mexico's respected El Financiero newspaper reported in February "that PRI
secretary-general and Labastida campaign manager Esteban Moctezuma made a
'clandestine' visit to Washington, where he met with President Clinton and
Carville, while Carville was serving as a paid PRI adviser,” according to one
Internet report.
Political experts say that Al Gore and the Democratic Party’s attempts to win
the Hispanic vote in this year’s election could suffer a fatal blow should
Fox decide to let it be known among PAN supporters in the U.S. that the
Clinton-Gore administration meddled in the Mexican presidential election and
sided with their opponents.
