Differences and similes


Mexico and Colombia have a lot of differences and similes, both have amazing cities, important tourists places, in fact both countries have an old magical culture, although, nowadays those countries have problems such as corruption, poverty and unemployment.
The Mexican economy is considerer like a mixture of modern and outmoded industry and agriculture, both of which are increasingly dominated by the private sector. Mexico has a free market economy and recent administrations have improve infrastructure and opened competition in seaports, railroads, telecommunications, electricity generation, natural gas distribution and airports. In addition oil is Mexico’s largest source of foreign income.

On the other hand the Mexico’s government is based on a congressional system, where the president is the head of the state and the head of the government; similarly the federal government represents the United Mexican States and is divided in three branches: executive, legislative and judicial and it is established by the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States.

Additionally, the politics of Mexico are dominated by three political parties: National Action Party (PAN), the Party of Democratic Revolution (PRD) and the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).


Compare to with Colombia’s government takes place in a framework of a presidential representative, where the president is the head of the state and the government; cconsequently, there is a multi-party system: executive power, legislative power, as a result Colombia and Mexico have similes in the government but there are many differences particularly in the political parties because en Colombia there are at least ten parties.
