Further signs of a sea change in Mexican politics come via this smaller story on a Tijuana official who resigned after food intended for Chiapas victims wound up in the hands of PRI officials. The good PRI mayor of Tijuana leapt to the man's defense, saying that more experienced people had taken advantage. I suppose one could take this as praise for the experience of his fellow party members, but I'm guessing that's not how he meant it. Most notably, the PRI diverted this food in an attempt to help the flagging campaign of their presidential candidate, Roberto Madrazo. Which is to say, they have just been busted for the sort of thing they have done for decades. Here's hoping the crackdown on corruption--for all parties--continues. Maybe the effects could have an effect even on U.S. political corruption.
