Shot on goal

By Claudia Pérez Atamoros

The street is their field. In it, day after day, millions in this country play their lives; the stadiums are the enormous routes, the bus stops, the subway stations, the cablebus stations... They are the stony and dusty streets that they walk in the early morning, those in which they watch their backs and walk at an accelerated pace...

And Nayeli Salvatori, candidate for congresswoman for Cholula, Puebla, finds it amusing to emulate criminal behavior. And she thinks she is scoring a goal when in reality she commits a foul that deserves a red card, she puts her foot in her mouth and scores an own goal for her party, the party of the people, "serénate morena".

"Camera, you know the drill: cell phones and wallets, go ahead."
