Hi everyone! welcome to another edition of 1+1 on the program tonight Jay Watts the former Central Organizer of the Communist Party of Canada, photojournalist, historian, left-wing activist and media and NGO critic came back on the program to discuss the recent Mexican Judicial reform under the outgoing popularly twice elected President AMLO and why this is very important and why there was soo much right-wing and corporate/state media hostility and violent attempts to stop it. For those interested in Latin American affairs and wanting left-wing revolution and radical reforms you won't want to miss this important discussion. These were some of the questions I asked that Jay who is a member of a Mexico Solidarity group answered.
1.Always an honor to get the chance to speak to you. My first question and the reason I wanted to have you on for this current affairs episode is talk to our audience about this big judicial reform the outgoing President of Mexico, AMLO who is a social democratic reformer, he’s done lots of major reforms and super gains for Mexico and is leaving with a higher approval rating then any president before him. He still has a mandate to do major policies and began this judicial reform. Firstly explain to us what it was, and I’m not surprised it got opposition, but was stunned at how violent the protests were so talk to us about the judicial reforms and why it was met with such aggressive protests?
2. Who were behind the protests, and was the US and Canada involved, they both expressed concerns and were against it, and were they AstroTurf?
3. Under AMLO have we seen a dramatic decrease in illegal Mexican migration to the US?
4. What is happening with Brazil under Lula in terms of prosecuting the Bolsanaro cult followers who stormed the Barricade and tried to do a January 6th style putsch?
