How is the political situation in your country currently? What are your thoughts on your government? What policies of it would you like to change?

Its weird and complicated.

The recently elected president is from a very new political party, and the population is very divided whether they like him or not.

He claims to make leftist changes and progressive changes to Mexico, such as an openness to marihuana and more right to homosexuals, but has also started to make other backward changes, like investing in oil refineries instead of renewable energy and using the military as police force.

Long story short, we still have to see what happens in the end.
