Neoporfirismo

Influential leftist ideologue and two-time unsuccessful presidential candidate lambastes current regime for its neoliberal depredation of country's resources, which he argues is comparable to excesses of turn-of-century Porfirian regime that ended in revolution. Draws parallels between government of incumbent PRI party and that of Porfirio Díaz, and argues that so-called modernization of Mexico and spate of reforms recently passed to facilitate it are no more than mask for opulence and greed of ruling class at expense of general welfare.
