Mexico: New Anti-Corruption Law Too Little, Too Late, Activists Say

Late Tuesday evening, the Mexican Senate passed an anti-corruption bill, which will increase the oversight and monitoring powers of the Federal Auditor's Office in relation to irregular spending. However, activists say the measure is too little, too late, more administrative than penal in its scope, and does not eliminate impunity for sitting presidents, governors, or mayors in corruption cases. The bill comes on the heels of several major corruption scandals involving President Enrique Peña Nieto's cabinet and family, which have had a major impact on public opinion.
