Salvador Vega Casillas, secretary of the federal Función Pública, which monitors federal spending, said the organ would set aside 60 million pesos for those who denounce public corruption.
While it's unclear how much will be handed out for every case of successful whistle blowing, Mexico is here also abiding by international agreements against corruption that prescribes such measures.
Sixty million pesos - they're yours to grab!

Want to live in the historic downtown of Mexico City?
The association of real estate professionals (AMPI) let it be known that after surveying the historic downtown district of Mexico City, 380 properties are ready to be rented out or sold - rent from 2,000 to 30,000 pesos; for buyers, 350,000 to 10 million pesos so something for everyone, in other words.
Wandering through the most historic areas of Mexico City, I've always daydreamed of purchasing one of the surprisingly many vacant apartments there - much of them, to be sure, uninhabited as a cause of the '85 earthquake.
Hurry, before Carlos Slim buys them all.

Michoacán politics: Human Rights Commissions goes youtubing
Todos están youtubeando:
The human rights commission in the state of Michoacán uploaded a youtube video entitled "Presumed guilty means innocent until the opposite is proven," in clear allusion to the super documentary of the same name, yet also adding a local element: The michoacanazo, where scores of state functionaries were arrested on anonymous accusations and released without evidence. Several of these make appearances as "victims of the
michoacanazo," behind faked prison bars.
The video Presunto Culpable es inocente hasta que se demuestre lo contrario" can be seen here.

Jésus Ortega, PRD national president, on a 2012 PRD-PAN common candidate
National president of the Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD), Jesús Ortega, from an interview in today's Milenio on the suggestion that PRD and PAN might launch a common presidential candidate in 2012:
"it is an outrage, a fabrication, and an unheard of lie"
("una barbaridad, un invento y una mentira insólita”)
Does it get clearer than this?
Yet AMLO knows better.

Ernesto Cordero
Since a couple of months back, my hunch has been that Ernesto Cordero will be PAN's eventual presidential candidate. Stories such as this only add my accumulated circumstantial evidence:
"During his visit... Cordero handed out clothes, toys and trucks seized and forfeited by the Sistema de Administración y Enajenación (SAE) from organized crime, to the 18 poorest municipalities in the country, including Coicoyan de las Flores, San Agustín Loxicha, San Andrés Paxtlán and Santa Lucia Miahuatlán. He said the initiative came from the wife of President Calderon, Margarita Zavala, and the indigenous federal deputy Eufrosina Cruz Mendoza."
