Life in Coahuila

A postcard from a day in the life of a Coahuila politician:
To "drive off the bad vibes", so that nothing negative obstructs the deputies in their job, so that they have "clarity of mind" and "everything comes out well", a faith healer carried "a cleaning" with resin and herb incense in the main room of the local Congress.

Legislators from the National Action Party, Institutional Party of the Revolution, and the Party of the Democratic Revolution, and Democratic Unity of Coahuila were surprised, then amused, and later unsettled because nobody knew if someone had sent her or if what she was doing was good or bad, or if someone with a grudge had sent her.
