Reminder

Néstor Ojeda reminds us that Andrés Manuel López Obrador's peccadilloes go beyond the reaction to the 2006 election:

Recently the fate of the first great protagonist of the video scandals that have occurred in Mexico in recent years became known. I refer to Gustavo Ponce, the ex-secretary of finance of the government Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who was sentenced to eight years in prison for money laundering.

Ponce was filmed playing in the VIP rooms of the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, gambling with the money of the businessman Carlos Ahumada, intellectual and material author of the video scandals who has revealed that those trips formed part of the web of corruption between the government of El Peje and the construction magantes of the Distrito Federal.

Today, while Gustavo Ponce is in jail, López Obrador continues on his campaign across the country, calling on the downfall of the federal government, wishing to impose his will on the parties that support him and run for the second occasion for the presidency of the republic.

And up to now, López Obrador continues being untouchable. All of the parties have denounced the dubious origin of the resources with which he has financed his movements and the electoral authorities don't do anything.
