From Michael Collins: The stakes are huge in Mexico's July 5 congressional elections. Mexico faces a major financial crisis, a war with narco traffickers, and a crisis of migration out of and into the country. The 2006 election was a fraud. The election for Congress reflects that. A "boycott" option is on the table, with one poll showing 11% support!
Lopez-Obrador, who had the election stolen from him in 2006, is speaking out loudly about deliberate media bias. Surprisingly, current President Calderon and former elections head Ugalde, the man who "helped" Calderon "win," are both talking like Obrador. This is the first of a three-part series on the election, with translations of remarkable public statements by the leaders of the nation.
