Over the last century, successive Mexican governments have struggled to deal with the enormous challenge of inequality.
A series of structural reforms between the 1990s and 2010s later inserted Mexico into the global economy, turning the country into one of the top world manufacturing exporters as well as a growing recipient of foreign investment.
Despite such efforts, the wealth gap remains staggering.
Today, the wealthiest 10% of Mexicans control 43% of the country’s total income, while the poorest 10% hold less than 2%. https://www.americasquarterly.org/article/this-isnt-the-path-to-solving-mexicos-inequality/
Purchases of different vaccines - Mexico, for example, with about 130 million inhabitants, the second most populous country in Latin America, plans to vaccinate 10 million people per month for free, as announced by the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. His government bought 34 million doses from Pfizer-BioNTech, and that company will take care of keeping them deep-frozen. https://mastodon.online/@LaPazBCS/105361558991675075

Two years on, the plan seems like a failure. Violence is up. The gangs haven’t been displaced. Other countries have warned against nonessential travel to various Mexican states. https://www.facebook.com/LaPazBajaSurMexico/posts/10159862235318539
