Mexico business leaders see Argentina's Kirchner as a model

Despite President Néstor Kirchner’s forcing creditors of Argentina to swallow the largest debt haircut in world history, some of the most powerful Mexican business leaders consider him a true statesman and an advocate of a new, non-violent left, according to one of Mexico’s leading lawyers.

that's also despite kirchner's recent criticism of vicente fox on fox's call for argentina to support bush's ftaa following the summit of the americas...

maybe they're hoping whoever wins mexico's presidential election next year will take their cues from kirchner rather than hugo chavez or fidel castro...

Actually, what the business chiefs really fear is that Mexico City’s leftist Mayor Andrés Manuel López Obrador may win the presidency next year and "become another Fidel Castro," lawyer Gonzalo Aguilar Zinser told the Herald.
López Obrador, of the Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD), is widely seen as the favourite to succeed President Vicente Fox, who belongs to the conservative National Action Party (PAN).
