corruption impunity: Yet Lopez Obrador, who campaigned on promises to end corruption, continues to enjoy sky-high approval ratings of more than 70 percent after winning the presidency in a landslide July 2018 election victory that also handed his political party a near-majority in Congress. ; Stamping out corruption and impunity remains a top priority, Lopez Obrador said in his address to Cabinet members, generals, businessmen and journalists at the National Palace, according to The Japan Times. Tackling corruption is a tall task. Homicides in Mexico are at a record high and the economy is struggling nine months into his administration. Mexico scored 28 out of 100 points in Transparency International's 2018 Corruption Perceptions Index, where a lower score indicates higher levels of corruption. Nothing has damaged Mexico more than the dishonesty of its rulers and this is the main cause of the economic and social inequality, and of the insecurity and violence, that we suffer, the president said somberly. That puts Mexico on par with Russia and behind countries such as Bolivia and Honduras in clean business dealings.
