Mexico & Nafta - July 2009 (ISSN 1741-444X)
A vote against rather than a vote for
The result of the election is Sonora is a big win
for Manlio Fabio Beltrones, a former governor of the state who is now the leader
of the PRI bloc in the senate. Arguably Beltrones, who has presidential
ambitions, is now the second most powerful figure in the country after Calderón.
Unfortunately, the federal government developed a penchant for taping
Beltrones's telephone calls in recent years: it was caught doing so just before
the elections.
