Elected with 35% of the vote, he lacked a majority in Congress, and the opposition refused to acknowledge his victory. He has also had to govern in a persistently difficult environment: a lame-duck president next door in the United States, a severe economic downturn, and the legacy of corruption, negligence, and complicity handed down by his predecessors since 1968, when Mexico’s old one-party political system began to crumble.
墨西哥城－本月，墨西哥的费利佩·卡尔德龙将庆祝其担任总统两周年。卡尔德龙于2006年12月在不利的情况下就职。他以35%的选票当选，没有在议会取得多数席位，并且反对党拒绝承认他的选举胜利。他也不得不在持续困难的环境下管理国家：邻国美国即将离任的总统，严重的经济下滑以及从1968年以来其前任流传下来的腐败、失职和共谋的后遗症——从1968年开始，墨西哥旧的一党政治体制开始解体。
