The beginning of the end of the longest-ruling party

摘要

Christian Villasenor is a tousle-haired, middle-class 21-year-old who earns 20,000 pesos (around $2,000) a month working as a clerk for a small import company. It is a good wage, he admits; it maintains his habit for cool clothes and a mobile phone. But he saves a lot, and considers himself a world away from the spoilt rich kids who tear around Mexico city's smarter parts in brand-new cars that are washed by their parents' valets every morning. He represents entrepreneurial, would-be modem Mexico, and his vote on July 2nd is probably going to Vicente Fox, the charismatic former businessman who is running for the opposition National Action Party (PAN).
