Reaction to Ahumada's Book

Here's Ricardo Raphael:

Derecho de Réplica is a text in which Carlos Ahumada Kurtz doesn't manage to improve --not even by a millimeter-- the image that exists of his low moral stature. He used the pen to confirm that he was an high-end influence trafficker, a man with no limit to his ambitions and also a naif for calculating that his interlocutors were even more candid than he.

Despite the preceding --about the credibility of the source and the cynicism with which his arguments are presented-- this is a book that should be read by all those Mexicans that need to better understand the methods and the forms, irredeemably corrupt, of our present political class.

Here's Alberto Aziz Nassif:

Carlos Ahumada's book, Derecho de Réplica, takes back to a phase of the political life of the country that already passed, that left stains and sequences that today continue to have an impact. There's nothing new, except the details; it's not entirely accurate, because the credibility of the author is extremely questionable; this isn't an investigation, but rather an interested testimony. In sum, more than a history it is a novel in which there is a political plot, characters, and an atmosphere of a power trouble. A novel is not necessarily pure fiction, but has all of the elements of imagination and subjectivity. Unfortunately, in countries like ours these corrupt political operations don't end in the exercise of justice, but rather in scandalous narrations.
