Carlos Fuentes' presidential endorsement appreciated

It was an endorsement Marcelo Ebrard said he was very happy with: Carlos Fuentes said he preferred him to be the left's candidate in 2012, even when measured up against non-party candidates such as Juan Ramón de la Fuente.

For his part, AMLO minimized the endorsement.

Marcelo Ebrard's new girlfriend

Gossip, yes, but everything is political: Rosalinda Bueso might be Mexico's first lady, and as such is well worth a profile: She is the former Honduran ambassador to Mexico, and when some members of her own embassy who backed the 2009 coup in Honduras tried to keep her out from the embassy, Ebrard sent city police to back her. She remained in Mexico City after her appointment ended and now, six months after Ebrard confirmed he would divorce Mariagna Prats, she is officially appearing as his pareja sentimental.h 
This one is for the historians: When was the last time Mexico had a foreign first lady?
