Immunize CLOUTHIER del RINCÓN

[homelycooking]

Clouthier del Rincon seems to be the politician everybody here likes! Even I like him.. I know he was a bit conservative... but WTF, he deserves to be inmunized hahaha...

Clouthier was sort of the proto-Peje in his opposition to the ridiculous fraud of the 1988 elections. The civil disobedience campaign following that election was all the more remarkable for Clouthier's unwillingness to be co-opted by his very politically similar rivals. His fiery demeanor and staunch opposition to the PRI really got people excited, I think, about the prospects of democracy in Mexico again.

[homelycooking]

Eliminating Salinas? Come, now. Sure, he was a crook, a fraud, a charlatan, a disgrace to democracy, justice and freedom, and just about the slimiest bastard to ever walk God's green earth, but he also was one of the most influential, important, interesting Mexican políticos. He should stay.
