Three-time presidential candidate and PRD founder Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas was honored by Notre Dame University Wednesday, for his leadership in democracy promotion. Cárdenas received the Prize for Distinguished Public Service from the university, which lauded him as a "statesman and defender of democracy." Hard to argue against that.
Cárdenas used the occasion to call for the replacement of neoliberlism with an economic project that emphasises growth with equity. He also called for replacement of the army in law enforcement by an elite police corps especially designed to fight organized crime.
