Vicente Fox is a Mexican businessman who represented the National Action Party PAN as the President of Mexico from 2000 to 2006. He is the co chairman of the centrist Democratic International Organization, which is composed of Christian democratic parties. Vicente Fox was elected as the President of Mexico in 2000, breaking the shackles of the Revolutionary Institutional Party's rule of over 70 years. As a charismatic reformer, Fox played an important role in promoting democratization and economic growth in Mexico. During his tenure, he successfully controlled inflation and interest rates, achieving the lowest unemployment rate in Latin America. In the book Revolution of Hope, Fox outlines the promising new future of America. He forcefully elaborated on global hot topics, including immigration, the Iraq War, racism, globalization, the role of the United Nations, free trade, religion, gender equality, indigenous rights, and the moral requirements of the global wealth gap on the health divide. Fox introduced true democracy in Mexico, hoping for a revolution that is both a description of his personal success story and a political outlook for the future. Fox ranked second among the nine children in his family, spending most of his childhood at his father's Guanajuato ranch. He studied at the University of Iberian America in Mexico City and Harvard Business School, and began working in 1964 as a truck driver for Coca Cola. He was quickly promoted and shortly after working, he was appointed as the President of Coca Cola's Mexico and Latin America region, becoming the youngest executive. Under the leadership of Fox, Coca Cola surpassed Pepsi to become the best-selling soft drink in Mexico. Since stepping down in December 2006, Fox has been delivering speeches in Nigeria, Ireland, Canada, and the United States, covering topics such as the controversial 2006 election and the Iraq war. The busy political activities of Fox after stepping down as president have sparked a lot of criticism in Mexico, as people always expect the president to fade out of the political stage after stepping down. But Fox said I have no reason to adhere to the anti democratic rules of those still living under dictatorship... Now Mexico is a democratic country, and every citizen has the right to express themselves, even the former president.
