the alleged kingpin Carlos Sanchez Villafuerte and / or Ulises Hernandez
Ramirez, accused as the financial operator of the Independent Cartel of
Acapulco (CIDA ), information circulating in national media.
Celestino Cesáreo

posts (Mercado Central) to determine how many people would attend the PRI
rally.

residents attend the rally with a minimum of one other person or else they
would charge 200 pesos failing to attend.
Traders at the
Boulevard of Nations were also threatened with a penalty for non-attendance. The penalty was having trade “privileges”
suspended for a month.

of Astudillo Flores.

cancelled.
Hector is innocent he does know this guy
ReplyDeleteu mean doesn't know the guy, correct? I believe you.
DeleteTongue firmly implanted in cheek?
DeleteWe believe you :)
DeleteMaybe the problem Mexico has,is,the way in which it does it,less sophisticated?
ReplyDeleteThis happens all over the world,why yes,even the well developed countries..
LOL.....you are probably correct.
DeleteP.S. if you put a space after your punctuation, it makes it a whole lot easier to read..........
Yes, you hear and read it every day in the U.S. "Campaigning for governor, rally organized by local crime figures, candidates dodged molotave cocktails and AK rounds." Nobody does it quite like Mexico!
DeleteThey need to arrest the candidate for complicity and bar him from running for any political office in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the political system in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteWho are the Democrats in Mexico ?
Who are the Republicans ?
Who are the Independents ?
News Flash the PRI bosses r in San Fernando Buying Votes/. Will all voters of SF pick up ur $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
DeleteFor the last 8 years I could not figure out why the Mexican Gov. would allow these killings, now have the answer, BRITH CONTROL. Mama don't let your Boys grow up to be Cartel soldiers . Well so long my way back to San Antonio
ReplyDeleteCartel de las lomas president peña nieto is more than 8 years old, and the pri party has been at it since the 1920, all priistas are more than 8 years old and corrupts for life...
Delete--Of course you just got made aware...
The Pri is in charge
ReplyDeleteWho is this Paco Cerda?
ReplyDelete45mm handgun?..wow! I thought my 10mm/40sw and 45(cal.)acp where big.
ReplyDeleteThis exemplifies the core of the problem. Mexican politicians have to be some of the dirtiest in the world. And before anyone replies back "this goes on in america too, american politicians are as bad as mexican politicians" stop to think a minute, when was the last time an oranganized crime figure was captured while promoting a political rally in America? Is it true that American politicians are so advanced they can engage in the same level of criminality as Mexican politicians and get away with it consistently?
ReplyDeleteAmerican politicians have evolved, they still promise to restore american government on the white house to their rightful place in the heaven of decency while sinking it a deeper in the shit, all of them playing on the right field for their masters, even John kerry has been corrupted...
ReplyDeleteAmerican politicians only take duly laundered money from approved lobbyists, while they still use some of it to cover up sins of the past...
-- like former US rep and speaker of the house dennis hastert from Yorkville il. who used to rape his students and wrestlers he coached in high school and has been caught paying about 1.7 million bucks to keep it quiet...
