The left loses Cuauhtémoc Sandoval Ramírez, 1950-2012

Former deputy, senator, and most recently secretary of migrants in the Guerrero state government, Cuauhtémoc Sandoval Ramírez, passed away recently.

The Mexican left has lost a great man. He played a very constructive role in the building of his party, the PRD, as well as in shaping legislation in both chambers of congress. I also had the pleasure of interviewing him a few years back - an extremely bright man, passionate for his causes, but also with a great sense of humor - what a great combination!
