THANKS to the reborn Political Party THANKS to you ordinary citizen, you did it!!” , the former president posted on his official Twitter account.

It is no secret that Vicente Fox has become one of the most important opponents of Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his administration, so in addition to celebrating that he does not the Electric Reform advanced, the former PAN president once again lashed out against the Tabasco president.
