Mexican Farmers Strike Fights US Corn Dumping: Soberanía 86
In this episode, we explore protests by Mexican farmers who are challenging the low prices they receive for corn, highlighting the role of intermediaries in the agricultural supply chain and how corn dumping by the US is putting pressure on campesinos. We then return to Gen Z march in Mexico, focusing on the ties to the opposition and the colossal failure of their second attempt to hold a demonstration. Finally, we delve into the strategic maneuvers of the United States in Latin America, particularly focusing on Honduras as a testing ground for US policies and its implications for regional stability. And as always, don’t miss our “Losers and Haters” segment, where we critique a New York Times article on “Russian disinformation” in Mexico.
