What is "foxilandia"

Foxilandia is a critical term used in the Mexican political culture to make reference to the administration (2000–2006) of President Vicente Fox.

It was first used during the appearance of President Fox before the Congress of the Union in September 2004, in arguments by the opposition that Fox's vision of Mexico greatly differed from theirs. The connotation is that "Foxilandia", or Fox's vision, is impossible, unrealistic, a fantasy, while, in logical contrast, theirs would be balanced and realistic.

This term has been used by Vicente Fox in his radio program Fox Contigo ("Fox With You") Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and journalists from major newspapers in Mexico such as El Universal, La Jornada and Reforma. Foxilandia has also been used in political documentaries such as Aventuras en Foxilandia by Carlos Mendoza Aupetit, and Who is Mr. López by director Luis Mandoki and the film Un mundo maravilloso (2006) by film director Luis Estrada.
