Today not only did “Uncle Richie” lose.
Today Mexico lost.
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled against Salinas Pliego,
and with that, the government has just crossed a line that many thought unthinkable:
the one of officially becoming a state co-opted by a single party,
where the powers are no longer balanced…
are obeyed.
And while thousands of families see their jobs at risk,
while thousands of suppliers tremble,
at Palacio Nacional they celebrate a victory that, without realizing it,
it has just triggered the most epic campaign ever recorded in modern political history of Mexico.
