Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas gets Mexico's highest medal, call for army to barracks

Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas receives highest Mexican civil award

Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas is, in the end, the 2011 recipient of the Belisario Domínguez medal.

Many in PAN were opposed, yet they disliked even more the second strong candidate, Supreme Court minister Olga Sánchez Cordero, but she became unpalatable to the social conservatives in PAN following her recent vote against the extremist state-level "life-from-conception" abortion legislation.

Felicitaciones, Ingeniero.
