Aduana: maybe not so bad, but still…
18 August 2009
As I said yesterday, Army soldiers took over most Aduana functions over the weekend. What was left out of the reports I looked at was that this was preparatory to replacing the Aduana with an entirely new set of workers, under a different contract. However, the fact that it’s only petty corruption — i.e., the workers — and not a “culture of corruption” — the management and those who set up the contracts in the first place – – that is driving the change cannot be seen as a particularly bold initiative. Nor does the Calderon Administration’s perceived need to use armed soldiers to thwart a potential labor dispute speak well to the government’s trust of its citizens.
