Fox Fights Corruption

President Vicente Fox delivers a speech at the National Accord for Transparency and the Combat of Corruption on February 26, 2001. Behind Fox is a sign that reads "No More Payoffs Already". Fox, who ran on a platform of anti-corruption in the 2000 elections, is targeting corruption in all levels of Mexican society -- from firing customs service supervisors to launching a media campaign discouraging Mexicans from offering bribes -- or "mordidas" which literally means "bites" in Spanish.
