It is informed that Vicente Fox selected the northern industrial city of Monterrey and the impoverished southern state of Oaxaca for official visits the day after his inauguration as Mexico's first democratically elected President. During the contest for Los Pinos, Fox described his governing philosophy as right wing if that means "enthusiasm for generating wealth" and left wing if the criteria are "redistributing income and solving problems of poverty, marginalization and human development." According to data from the 2000 census, fully 75 percent of the population of Mexico lives in poverty today as compared with 49 percent in 1981, before the imposition of the neoliberal regimen.
