MEXICO CITY (AP) - President Vicente Fox used his state-of-the-nation address Thursday, the last before elections to replace him, to urge citizens to stay committed to Mexico's newfound democracy and to remind them that they are in charge of the nation's future.
Fox urged Congress to work with him, saying "agreement is the transforming force of history."
"We have built too many walls and few bridges," he said, and then was interrupted by catcalls. "This harms the popular will and discourages citizens. Now, more than ever before, it is essential that politics should constitute the basis of our democratic system."
