Another possibility is that the Mexican legislative process that approved these "reforms be brought before the International Court of Justice in The Hague for review. At the very least, by being examined by an international judiciary body, the Mexican government would be forced to recognize its failure to adhere to democratic processes
With the growth of violence throughout Mexico, it also is possible that most companies interested in investing in Mexico will stay away. Much to his frustration, Enrique Pena Nieto discovered that the international representatives attending the World Economic Forum in Davos were far more interested in the violence in Michoacan than in the passage of his neo-liberal economic "reforms". (NEWS ESP, op.cit.) Unless a substantial reduction in that violence occurs, large scale foreign investment may not materialize.
The real hope rests in enhancing the awareness of the foreign media to what is actually happening in Mexico. The last thing the Mexican government wants is negative publicity. It would be disastrous if that media were to write stories about Mexican electoral fraud and the undemocratic way that energy and other neo-liberal "reforms" were steamrollered through congress without the people's support. It is critical, therefore, that as many people as possible become apprised of the authoritarian way that the "reforms" have become the law of the land. Efforts should be undertaken to get the word out as comprehensively as possible since an informed public can make a dramatic difference!
