The Mexican general elections of July 2006 have resulted in a crisis of legitimacy for the president and a crisis of credibility for the country's electoral institutions. The situation is also an expression of an unresolved transition involving the dismantling of the previous welfare state and the subsequent crisis of the neoliberal predatory state. The center-right majority that emerged victorious from the election at the expense of the center-left will be an important ally in the attempt to implement those neoliberal structural reforms demanded by the U.S. and international financial organizations. Nonetheless, a new democratic culture that emphasizes fresh bottom-up alternatives of popular organization and international solidarity is emerging in Mexico to challenge neoliberalism.
