carlos salinas

carlos salinasCarlos Salinas de Gortari was president of Mexico from 1988 to December 1994. He was the ruling PRI's candidate in the election and many believe he won through fraud. Currently living in self-imposed exile in Ireland, he left Mexico fearing he might be charged with the murder of his chosen successor Luis Donaldo Colosio.

Carlos is extremely unpopular in Mexico where he is blamed for a decreased standard of living, economic difficulties, the rise of the drug trade and the massive corruption that occurred during his administration. While some credit Salinas with important reforms and beginning privatization, many Mexicans blame NAFTA - passed under Salinas - for Mexico's economic problems.
