MEXICO: EPR spurns overtures, threatens escalation
The government of President Felipe Calderón has been greatly discomfited by signs that the guerrillas of the Ejército Popular Revolucionario (EPR) are being treated as legitimate political interlocutors by politicians and business leaders.

The EPR, basking in the attention, has spurned all overtures and reiterated its demands, warning of possible escalation.
