Our Mayor: Great Expectations
Remember our mayor (alcalde), who was arrested and put in jail, because of suspected involvement in organized crime?
Well, he’s still in jail. But meanwhile, his name was also on a ballot. He was trying to win an internal party election – the political party PRD – to run for the Mexican congress.
This election had to go on without him, since he’s in jail.
But guess what?
He WON.
That’s right, he is now the PRD’s official candidate to run for congress in this district!
I wonder how high up in government you can get while you’re still in jail?
What do you think about that?
