Reporter David Welna reports that last week 255 legislators from Mexico's ruling PRI party wrote a letter to President Ernesto Zedillo, criticizing Mexico's free market policy. The letter also urged the government to reassert control over the economy, promote lower interest rates and stablize the exchange rate. Although the legislators are now toning down their criticim somewhat, the attack on Zedillo and his policies has serious ramifications for the party.
