to visualize the indigenous Third World.
Imagine indigenous populist political candidate of the populist political party to run for mayor. The candidate of the campaign through the village blames the current local political administration are corrupt, leaving municipalities in debt and does nothing for the "people ".
As a reformer of the populist candidate going into rural areas and promises of new roads, community centers, workplaces, schools, assistance to farmers and small businesses, health facilities and so on.
On promises of urban electoral road repairs, improved garbage service, new sewer lines and new culverts to prevent flooding during heavy rains and so on.
To put it bluntly, this whole area of about 60,000 people need just about everything.
As one of the poorest regions in Mexico, this area was economically depressed agricultural base of the distortion caused many residents to leave the area looking for work. A greater than 90% of the population is indigenous Maya.
the ruling party was in power for many decades and had an "institution" of corruption. This corruption permeated every aspect of government and nothing has happened to the local political in nature, unless it happened through this systemic corruption.
new populist candidate railed at the corruption at the federal, state and local levels of government, of course. Tired of corrupt government abuse of the electorate, the electorate voted for the candidate's "Change" which won the uvjerljivu.Lokalne political "revolution" began.
Fast forward to this scene three years later.

In three years there is almost no local streets are maintained, except, of course, in the neighborhood where he lived populist revolutionary. During the rainy season, many local street flooding and impassable.
of the local City Hall building needs painting, and beginning to look deserted.
local populist Meanwhile done very well. Apparently his family was able to travel to Europe and to expand their cultural awareness. His children are now driving fast sports cars improving their self-esteem so they will not feel so "Indian ".
revolutionary also managed to make many improvements on his ranch.
Things are good for a new political boss of this small town of indigenous people, because he allegedly paid himself salary is higher than the salary of the President of Mexico. Or as it used to say in the old days, "nice work if you can get ."
As a populist mayor's mandate came to an end, the protests began to heat up. The peasants wanted to know why the mayor kept none of the promises he made to njih.Lokalne housewives want to know why the streets in the neighborhood was neglected, and the streets adjacent to the Mayor All were repaired.
local business people wondered what it would be a cut and it will hurt your posao.Dobavljači on the domestic market, asked how long they could sell food to the stench of sewage filling the air.
They also asked why the mayor arranged for the sale of city property at the big box chain competitor intends to locate only a few blocks from the "people" in the market.
new incoming Mayor from different political parties, said time will not only be tough, but in fact, many city services will be limited and eventually eliminated. He also revealed that many financial records are complete and in order that his administration will start his term.
Unable to like? It's hard. It occurs throughout the developing world with indigenous narodima.Ex-mayor in a matter of Quintana Roo, Mexico,. The same situation is rapidly evolving in Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and Tulum
As the governor placed a new mayor promised to work hard to deal with local problems, but next year will certainly be a strictly local population will have to expect cuts and reduce services. Working together there is hope, new boss says convincingly.
People always need hope. However, exactly what I hope can realistically expect from a corrupt system? Unfortunately, the only realistic expectation is that as history repeats itself a corrupt system,. It is the nature of the system
so that ultimately it is the most authentic thing, the version on the theme "We have met the enemy and they are us." But you must admit it's nice work if you can get.
