While Ulises Ruiz is still enjoys impunity as governor of Oaxaca (given the ridiculously long transition period in this and other states), a ruling by Mexican Supreme Court suggests that he might be in trouble soon after leaving office.
In July, the state congress steamrolled through, among other "covering-the-back-of-an-outgoing-governor legislation," a change to state law that in essence declared that major aspects of Ruiz' government could not be audited. The Supreme Court finally threw out the ruling yesterday, given that the PRI-dominated legislature broke a series of legal procedures in the process, and declared it unconstitutional.
Ulises Ruiz is one step closer to finally answering for the mismanagement during his 2004-2010 disastrous government.
