选举跨世纪总统 8月21日,墨西哥拉开6年一度的大选帷幕,选举新一任总统、96名参议员、500名众议员、64名联邦区议会代表和部分州长。此次大选看似平淡,却胜似往年。根据墨西哥宪法,总统任期为6年,也就是说新总统将是一位跨世纪总统(在拉美亦是第一人),将领导8000万墨西哥人进入下一个世纪。因此可以说此次大选是民心的一次空前大检阅。 Election of Transatlantic Presidents On August 21, Mexico kicked off its six-year general election to elect a new president, 96 senators, 500 members of the House of Representatives, 64 representatives of the Federal District Council and some governors. The general election seems dull, but victorious in previous years. According to the Mexican constitution, the presidential term is six years, meaning that the new president will be a trans-century president (the first in Latin America) to lead 80 million Mexicans into the next century. Therefore, it can be said that this election is an unprecedented review of the people.
