Weirdos

I tend to think that most attacks on the PAN as an authoritarian group of brownshirts are just a bit overheated, but every now and then, the PAN does something that makes it seem more like a cult than a political party. Like this: three party activists who had their picture taken with a PRI candidate for deputy in Hidalgo are on the verge of being kicked out of the party.

Uh... maybe because "National Action" parties are fascist-- and PAN never has disowned its roots in Mexican synarchism, and still adheres to these principals?

As far as the roots, yeah of course, my point is only that those roots usually seem to be pretty well hidden underground, and than all of a sudden something like this pops up. Also, it depends where you are. The junquistas in the middle of the country aren't really the face of the PAN that I see in Torreón. I don't see them as adhering to synarchism; it's just a normal, pragmatic, ideologically vague but basically right of center political party. It's not terribly religious, either. In Guanajuato, for example, it's a different story.
