		Slim is very intelligent, very ambitious, and he likes to be the only one in the market,” says Gustavo de la Garza, chairman of Marcatel, a long-distance carrier that ran into a brick wall when it entered the Mexican market in 1996.
		Slim’s campaign comes at a critical time for the country, which is fresh off a divisive presidential election in which Mexicans voted by the slimmest of margins to continue with free-market policies that have stabilized the economy but have so far delivered limited growth and more disparity between rich and poor.
		Slim’s detractors suggest he is trying to burnish his image in the face of democratic reforms, slowing market growth and planned regulatory changes that seem certain to curtail his freedom to wield power behind the scenes.
