It is an impressive transnational constellation of political power. In the US, similar corporate forces have steamrolled over ratepayers, unions and regulators, in a successful effort to open power generation to the free market, in state after state. Mexico, however, has something, which the US doesn't, that so far has been able to stop these proposals in their tracks - the Mexican Electrical Workers Union, the SME. At the end of September, the union and its allies brought 50,000 people into Mexico City's main square, the Zocalo, in protest over Fox's privatization plans. The union vowed to distribute 10 million leaflets nationwide urging opposition.
It wasn't the first confrontation between the union and the forces of neoliberal reform. Fox's predecessor, Ernesto Zedillo, also proposed privatizing electricity in 1999. The union formed the National Front of Resistance to the Privatization of the Electrical Industry, collected 2.3 million signatures on petitions in three weeks, and brought a million angry capitalinos into the streets. Zedillo was defeated, the first time a privatization initiative in Mexico had not succeeded.

สหภาพแรงงานรัฐวิสาหกิจเป็นผู้นำประชาชนจำนวน 50,000 คน ไปร่วมชุมนุมต่อต้านการขายกิจการไฟฟ้าที่ Mexico City's main square, the Zocalo
และได้แจกจ่ายเอกสารใบปลิว 10 ล้านแผ่น กระตุ้นให้มีการคัดค้าน
ใช้เวลาสามสัปดาห์ในการรวบรวมรายชื่อผู้คัดค้าน 2.3 ล้านคน
และได้นำประชาชนนับล้านคนออกมาประท้วงบนถนน
นับเป็นครั้งแรกที่สามารถขัดขวางการแปรรูปได้สำเร็จหลังจากที่รัฐวิสาหกิจอื่นๆ ถูกขายไปเป็นจำนวนมาก

การที่ IMF ได้บังคับให้ไทยใช้นโยบายการฟื้นฟู และลงนามใน LOI 11 ฉบับเมื่อปี 2540 นั้น
ไม่ใช่เป็นการให้ยาผิด .. แต่เป็นการจงใจจะเข้ามาครอบงำระบบเศรษฐกิจ
ซึ่งสิ่งต่างๆที่ IMF ได้กระทำไว้กับไทยนั้น ไม่ใช่เพิ่งจะใช้กับไทยเป็นประเทศแรก
แต่ IMF ได้ใช้วิธีเดียวกันนี้กับหลายประเทศเป็นเวลาเกือบ 20 ปี ก่อนที่จะมาถึงไทย

One of the first things tourists learn when they come to Mexico is "don't drink the water."

Activists: Firms getting rich off of selling water By Guillermina Guillen, El Universal
One of the first things tourists learn when they come to Mexico is "don't drink the water."
However, local authorities say the capital's water supply is fit for human consumption and the widespread belief among both tourists and locals is fueling the nation's lucrative bottled water industry.
Worldwide, Mexico is the second largest consumer of bottled water, and activists are concerned the precious resource is quietly being privatized.
In the 1990s authorities increased the chlorine content in drinking water as a safety measure following a cholera outbreak across Latin America that killed 552 Mexicans. The resulting unpleasant taste spurred a jump in the consumption of bottled water, and has given an edge to private companies.
"We are facing a silent process of privatization. As a foreigner, I ask if I can drink tap water in Mexico, and everybody says no, so I buy it," said Costa Rican Javier Bogantes, director of the Latin American Water Board which argues that water is a human right and should not be privatized.
"I doubt that there is a public entity that could supply water to the entire population in Mexico," he said.
Although the government calls the resource a matter of national security, in recent years multinational companies such as Coca Cola, Pepsi, Danone and Nestle have been taking over the job of supplying the population, for a price.
"If a population of 24 million people (the metropolitan area of Mexico City) is supplied entirely by bottled water, that's a big business that can make enormous profits," said Bogantes.
"It is important that communities defend their right to this vital liquid, and demand that the government comply with its obligation to supply water to everyone," he added.
Armando Monroy Hermosillo, director of biological and health science at the Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM), accuses the local government of failing to adequately inform the public that much of the water coming through the faucet is safe to drink. This lack of information pushes people to buy bottled water.
Water rights are the focus of increasing attention internationally. In global comparisons, Mexico is the only Latin American country that depends primarily on bottled water. Its residents drink 170 liters annually per capita, or 5.6 billion liters.
Worldwide, Italy tops the list with 183 liters per person. After Mexico, nations that consume the most bottled water per capita are the United Arab Emirates, Luxemburg, France, Spain, Germany, Lebanon, Cypress, and the United States.
In Spain, the Consumer Action Federation (Facua) recently demanded the Health Ministry cease promoting some brands of bottled water that were marketed as "miraculous tonics" because they "create unfair competition for tap water."
In 2002, Spaniards consumed more than 4.5 million liters of bottled water, equivalent to 136 liters per person, according to the Beverage Marketing Corporation.
"If people pay for water service in their home, the government should commit to delivering a high-quality resource, instead of helping to make private companies rich," said Monroy. "If we are willing to pay seven pesos for a bottle, why wouldn't we be willing to pay the real price of the water that flows through our pipes?"
Alejandra Serrano Pavón, an attorney with the non-governmental Mexican Environmental Rights Center (Cemda A.C.), said that the process of privatization has been tacitly endorsed by the director of the National Water Commission, Cristóbal Jaime Jáquez, who previously worked in the sector.
She said there are no legal impediments to handing the resource over to private initiative under Mexican law. However, she said that international law defines access to water as a human right.
Community groups against the privatization of water resources are preparing for mobilizations in the lead-up to the Fourth Global Water Forum which Mexico will host in March of 2006, Serrano added
