Some believe that the Governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García, has too much of an affinity for all things American, which has led to calling him Mexico's "Manchurian Candidate." This phrase refers to someone controlled by a foreign power to act against their own country's interests. here, we will take a closer look at this claim and examine the reasons.
One of the main arguments used to support the theory that Governor Samuel García is a Manchurian Candidate is his affinity for all things American. He has been known to express admiration for JFK, and keeps a picture of him in his office, and name his son after Mariel Hemingway, an American actress and granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway.. His political and business heroes are also mostly American. Some have even said, "why doesn't he just move to America If he loves it so much."
Another argument used to support the Manchurian Candidate theory is the Governor's alleged preferential treatment to American businesses in his state. Critics claim that he gives favorable treatment to companies from the United States, even at the expense of local businesses. Governor García has repeatedly denied these claims and has defended his policies by stating that he is simply trying to attract foreign investment to his state.
