ELBA ESTHER GORDILLO: Out of the shadows
Elba Esther Gordillo, the controller of Latin America's biggest union, has
been a political power in Mexico since the early 1990s, when she imperiously
forced the education ministry to pulp a revisionary history textbook. Back then
the education ministry was headed by Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de León, who became
president in 1994. Now the head of the 1.4m strong Sindicato Nacional de
Trabajadores de la Educación union, is squaring up again to an education
minister that has dared to challenge her.
