PRI denounces ghost companies in Guanajuato

Local PRI Deputy Miguel Ángel Chico Herrera denounced the government of Juan Manuel Oliva Ramírez in Guanajuato for having made no-bid purchases for the the government worthy 272 million pesos, from what appears to be simply "ghost companies" - meaning they have no address or physical location.

It is not the first time the ultra-conservative yunquista Oliva faces such accusations of dirty dealings, including juicy contracts doled out to close relatives.

AMLO calls out zapatistas for 2006

In Chiapas, AMLO called on the zapatistas not to repeat their behavior from 2006.

Then, surpassing even its usual high standard of sectarianism, the EZLN hurled a stream of epithets toward the PRD, including the standard ultraleft label of fascism (!) against the PRD and AMLO, and Marcos went on a celebrity-like tour around Mexico and called on people note to vote for the left - or any party.

While it is unclear how much influence Marcos had and had over the vote, his call upon the far left not to back AMLO, given the narrow victory of Calderón, might even have cost AMLO the victory.
