    Wait, after all those murders and sabotaging during the elections the people still managed to elect a really worthy president (seems like the best president I’ve seen in all the countries the last years)??

    Wow, maybe I should move to Mexico

    Congratulations Mexico!

    Edit: Well, hmm:

    In October 1991, Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari went to Stanford University to give a talk on the benefits of Latin American neoliberalism, but was met with a demonstration against it. The angry college girl holding the sign with the inscription “Fair Trade and Democracy Now” in English is the current president-elect of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum

      Edit: seems I was wrong in my assumptions

        It’s obviously scanned from a newspaper. Not everything is a conspiracy…

        Edit: Found another picture:

        They still had newspapers in the 90s. And some pictures you can only find on old newspaper micro film. So they’re in black and white. Even color printed newspapers would catalog their back issues in black and white.

          Why? It’s not expensive to set one copy aside and keep 365 of them a year into some cold dry storage, right?

      The important thing is she didn’t die from the Cartels. Do you know how many politicians have been taken out by cartels in the last year. Just recently in April down in Chipas a cartel got 538 politicians to resign all on the same day and murdered 38.

      To be a politician in Mexico from any party you need blessings from the right people.

    Don’t need to point out the fact she’s Jewish. Nobody cares. Just do a good job.

      You. You are the reason they need to point it out.

      Just move on. You think no one cares, but I care infinitely less about your comment on it than I do learning the background of an elected official, especially given the situation in Gaza.
