Finland's Ovi

Partly to my two Mexican friends, one live in Mexico and one here in Finland, I started having a special interest on Mexico and in the last issue of Ovi magazine I wrote an article about the demonstration the Mexican immigrants were preparing in USA.

And then world cup started in Germany and Mexico is there. Shining I have to admit since it was one of the few teams that has shown something good till now but still, every time I hear about the football team I cannot avoid thinking that this is a country with 40% of the population in poverty.

Finnish television shown some video from the TV stands different countries have in Germany. Guess which one was the most luxurious! Mexico!!! I found my self screaming at the television screen, forty million man, forty bloody million people!!! I bet nobody listens. I don’t even know if anybody cares, definitely not the ones ruling this South American country. Forty, forty million people!!!

I was reading earlier about the fights between teachers and police in Mexico. What any country needs what any human needs? Food, education, work! How these people can have a better tomorrow without any of them? How we can talk about future in this planet when there are 40 million people without food, education and work? How we can talk about any future.

Now come and watch bloody football and players who negotiated till the last moment for their bonus!!!

Still no news from the copycat Ovi magazine, but you just read the new issue of the original Ovi magazine or Ovi Lehti for the Finns.
