Mexico

In this edition of Radio Utblick, we take a close look at a country with many faces - Mexico.

With an upcoming General Election July 1st, many difficult challenges are facing Mexico. We have talked to three different people about the current situation in Mexico. About the history and present day, migration, “the Wall”, corruption and the ongoing drug conflict. Also, how is it to live a normal life in one of the worlds biggest cities, Mexico City, surrounded by violence and corruption?
