I'm curious about this theory of obeying a law. Here we have Mexico's legislature rejecting it, many Mexican citizens rejecting it and protesting against it, and then out of the blue, a sole Ambassador...
View ArticleRe:
So you bring in Brazil. Was that on purpose, like, to demonstrate how ridiculous this Mexican Ambassador is being, or are you "not an expert on [geo]political matters" as well?
View ArticleArticle 39
Seems like normal behavior for a modern government, only with transparency and no wimping around with cover-ups, cover stories or plausible deniability. "Yeah, we did it anyway......
View ArticleArticle 38
Signed but not ratified. Mexico just had new Presdential elections, but the new President hasn't been sworn in yet, so the ambassador is a holdover from the past President.
View ArticleThey're just following our example
President Obama illegally signed ACTA too, despite requiring Congressional approval. Mexico's just doing the same thing we did.

At this point in the game, I'm sure the USTR is giving away a free toaster with each sign-up. Maybe the Mexican ambassador to Japan just wanted some toast.
View ArticleArticle 35
perhaps there will be an official explanation of what has happened? on the other hand, as ACTA and TPP are so transparent, perhaps there wont. perhaps no one else in the Mexican govt knew what was...

Rumor has it (high probability) is that the strategy is to now plant these ACTA people at WIPO. It is rumored that after the recent hiring of a senior US govt. representative, it will be the turn of a...

I believe it has to do with Pena Nieto being president. This is the same party that ruled for over 70 years with massive corruption going on. He has essentially bribed people in Mexico with food...

OK, that made some changes to my fiesta plans. How about this: everybody is invited, except for that SOLE ambassador who signed this. ... I'm really confused about this. Really I am. Can anyone explain...

I just love a dualit toaster, I might even sign for one of those, it has to be a 4 slice though.

If the last few years worth of headlines can be believed, I would think Mexico had much bigger problems than IP enforcement. Or is it the DVD pirates and purveyors of fake Gucci bags that are littering...

Probably has something to do with the new president whose wife is a telenovela actress. And I'm sure he loves her enough (unless it's true that he also uses her as a punching bag) to arrange to have...

But the issue is that in the congress the PRI is not majority, maybe they only want to said "look Mexico also sign the ACTA", I still think will not going to be approved.

Wait a minute, with all the confusion going around, it may just be that the representative may have acted on his own.
View ArticleRe: They're just following our example
Yes but it shows great disrespect to the whole Democratic process, and the will of the people, to just sign up without putting it through the US Congress and Mexican Senate. The only good point in all...

You may well be right there when this ambassador may well receive a letter by the morning reading "You are fired!"

If signing ACTA was a price for Mexico to join Canada sitting in the TPP peanut gallery probably getting less information about what's going in than the US Congress gets it sounds like a rotten deal to...

Wasn't there also some European country a while back whose ambassador to Japan signed ACTA? That country's Prime Minister then apologized, or something.

I think the timing of the signing is sneaky. Mexico is in somewhat of a turmoil because the next president cheated at the election and there have been mass protests.
