Amidst centennial revolutionary celebrations, Cárdenas calls for "grand collective"

Appearing as a speaker next to Marcelo Ebrard at the newly restored Monument to the Revolution, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas denounced the "administrations of the last thirty years," and called for a new progressive movement - "a grand collective" - for change: "This is the right time to start working."

One may point out to Cárdenas that one movement for change already exists - AMLO's "Legitimate Government," which has anywhere from 2 to 5 million members, according to its own estimates, though it it is pretty clear that PRD's founder and three-time presidential candidate Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas is well aware of AMLO's movement - I asked him what he thought about it a while back, and while the answer was in his typically vague cardenasspeak, he did not appear impressed by it, and said he had no idea what AMLO wanted with it - hardly a ringing endorsement of the mass movement of his one-time protégé and then internal party rival.

I've said it before: Don't exclude another Cárdenas 2012 candidacy. While his son Lázaro has certainly been mentioned, the old man might very well step back into the ring.
