Time for PRI's president Moreira to count his days

Enrique Peña Nieto, PRI's presidential candidate, said that the debt and possible fraud scandals in Coahuila under the watch of national PRI president Humberto Moreira Valdés have "worn down" the party.

With Peña Nieto now dropping the ball on Moreira, it seems to me it is time for the PRI president to count his days on the job.

Misiones de Shaddai: Yet another charlatan sect comes apart in Chiapas

Southern Mexico and Chiapas in particular is notorious for the many religious sects preying on the poor. Misiones de Shaddai is one of them. Its leader Darinel López Toledo was arrested this weekend for exploitation, including minors, after having recruited them to work at the mission's banana plantation for a pittance:
The detainee is accused of "hooking" those poor and of low income with the promise of jobs, housing and food, and forced them to do exhausting days in exchange for a payments of 25 pesos a day. In his ministerial statements, one of the victims who escaped the building in the ejido Congregación Reforma de Tapachula said that López Toledo approached low-income families with the idea of ​​"reaching the word of God."
May this criminal charlatan spend a long time behind bars.
