Mexican church rallies behind Enrique Peña Nieto

The Mexican Episcopal Conference (Conferencia del Episcopado Mexicano) which is not a conference at all but the official leadership organization of the Mexican Catholic church, deemed the government of Enrique Peña Nieto in Mexico State to have been "successful" and one of the best state administrations of Mexico, according to "statistics."

What statistics? Mexico State is an absolute an utter disaster, and the few gains made under Peña Nieto's administration pale compared to to brutal rises in vital statistics such as crime, murders, and unemployment, as detailed recently by e.g. IMCO and COPARMEX.

Yet since when has the top hierarchy of the Mexican catholic church ever been interested in facts?

Roberto Borge, new Quintana Roo, already caught lying

Roberto Borge, the new PRI governor of Quintana Roo, has already been caught lying: He claimed that he was off last weekend to the national conference of governors, Conago (Conferencia Nacional de Gobernadores), but it appears he rather went to Europe for the Champions League Final.

As Joaquín López-Dóriga puts it, "A bad start."
