Mexico - Where Everything Can be Bought

According to Transparency Mexico, last year the economic cost of corruption in the country exceeded 32 billion pesos (US$2,767,687,251) , 5 billion pesos (US$432,451,133) more as opposed to 2007. Further still, according to the Corruption Index, Mexico went from 197 million acts of corruption to 200 million of them and each "bite" on average paid 138 pesos (US$11.93) to 165 pesos (US$14.27).

These acts of corruption represents an additional tax of more than 14% of average income of Mexican households and up to 33% of their income for those receiving minimum wage. That is, corruption hits the pockets of citizens, those who assume irregular situations "inevitable" or, worse, as "convenient" for the streamlining of procedures or obtain any personal benefit. It is to be remembered that the act of corruption, the felony, is a crime found in an environment ideal for its unlawful spread, beginning with small steps, and with the micro abuses, where lack of respect for legality becomes the norm. A society where everything can be and is bought, this breaks the social fabric, creating new generations where the perception that the rules are relative and can always be adjusted at will. The deformed axis of values ​​is what is stopping the country in many aspects of public administration, and even the life of the nation.

The data provided Transparencia Mexicana are also an affront to all the anti-corruption plans for public administration that has been created in the country and the institutions of the Republic for transparent processes. Nor the mechanisms for anonymous reporting, nor multiple locks to stop office access to public information, nor to increase penalties for public servants who are corrupt and people stop looking to buy favors from officials, appears to reflect a phenomenon that is far from not increasing. We can not resign ourselves to being a corrupt country, to be a country who can twist the law in their favor. Such can not be the fate of Mexico.
