Ex-Mex prez speaks out against populism and border wall

Former Mexican president Vicente Fox (image) warned that populist governments in the Americas promote “messianic stances” which may lead to dictatorships. Fox’s remarks came during a visit to the European Parliament which Venezuela’s El Universal headlined as an “International Meeting to Prepare (an) Anti-Chavez Strategy.”

In addition, Fox called an extension to the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border “a big mistake” during an awards ceremony on Wednesday night. Added Fox on what was deemed as a “virtual wall” by the head of the U.S. Border Patrol:

“We can do much better than building walls by working together…What are they hiding from?. . .Who is going to stay within, and who is going to stay out?”
