The conservatives took over the Podium of the Mexican Parliament yesterday, amid unprecedented scenes as a result of the naming of the Calderon Cabinet. Calderon famously got the vote with less than a % difference, between him and Obrador. Harvard educated Calderon has turned a blind eye to the new 700 mile fence that borders the US and to the repression of the democratic movement in Oaxaca.
