Mexico's history had been riddled with bloody revolutions and brought on the national stage statist leaders, and autocrats, which was detrimental to Mexico's economy. The trend continues to this day, with complications of military generals involved in corruption, being paid by 4 presidents in a row. The most recent general has escaped prosecution to the United States of America. </strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Amparo (or habeas corpus) is being abused beyond reason, and this has to change, says a displaced leader in civic activism, my interviewee, Lydia Cacho. In the next series (number 2), Lazin, brings in 30 years of field research on the Mexican and Romanian deep state, and facts on how to put on the brakes on toxic populism and autocracy in times of the Covid pandemic, in Mexico, Romania, and even in Hungary, in order to prevent human rights abuses, generals getting illicitly rich from abusing power, and laundering money in the United States. Incredible Romanian justice on the other hand, in Romania, the true facts behind National Anticorruption Directorate Prosecutors (DNA), and Romanian Intelligence Services (SRI) actions, AKA the Binom are exposed, in Chapter 22. An exhilarating book, for historians and academics. Review by Marin Popan, PhD for edification.</strong></p><br>
