Interviews from Mexico, hosted by Laura Carlsen, goes straight to the source -- the men and women making news and making history in Mexico and throughout the region. In today's program, "Remaking Mexico", Carlsen interviews Cuauhtemoc Cardenas, founder of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), which he recently resigned from, two-time presidential candidate, former Mexico City mayor, son of legendary Mexican president Lazaro Cardenas who nationalized the country's oil industry, and a leading figure and moral authority in Mexican political and opposition circles. Cardenas discusses his latest project, a constituent assembly to establish a new constitution to put the country on a new and qualitatively different footing; the long-term effect of the electoral fraud perpetrated in 1988; an evaluation of the right-wing National Action Party in office; the crisis of Mexico's political parties and system; a balance sheet of neo-liberalism and the energy reform in Mexico; corruption and impunity in the country; the significance of the Ayotzinapa case; and Cardenas' own future plans. teleSUR
