In the mean time, please read the next article, which talks about today's election in Tabasco, Mexico, homeland of the legitimate president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador:

Mexican leftist party faces tough test in state election marred by gunfire, beatings


"The Associated Press"
October 15, 2006


VILLAHERMOSA, Mexico Mexico's main leftist party, still angry over its narrow loss in presidential elections, faces the prospect of another defeat Sunday in Tabasco state, in a race that has seen candidates' homes fired upon and party activists beaten.

Many see the vote as a referendum on former presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a Tabasco native who has been stumping hard for his party's gubernatorial candidate, Cesar Raul Ojeda.

Most opinion polls show Ojeda, of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party, or PRD, trailing Andres Rafael Granier of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which rules the swampy state.

Shots were fired on Saturday at the houses of PRI mayoral candidates in the towns of Centla and Huimanguillo, state police reported. No one was injured and no arrests were made.

Also in Huimanguillo, rival from boths parties clashed, leading to 10 arrests. PRI officials said one of their members was hospitalized in serious condition after being beaten by metal pipes.

Saturday's violence followed the arrests of more than 20 militants from both parties over the two previous days for allegedly carrying guns, machetes and baseball bats.

PRI leaders accused the PRD of trying to destabilize the election and scare people away from voting.

"They are looking for a confrontation and they are betting they can stop people from going to vote," said Georgina Trujillo, head of the PRI in Tabasco state. "We are not going to fall for the confrontation."

PRD chief Leonel Cota, however, blamed the unrest on PRI officials stirring up trouble to try to make people afraid of his party.

The PRI campaign has tried to brand Ojeda as an extremist linked to the paralyzing street blockades his party launched in Mexico City to protest alleged fraud in the presidential election. Lopez Obrador lost that vote to Felipe Calderon of President Vicente Fox's National Action Party by about 0.6 percent. Calderon takes office Dec. 1.

Many Tabasco residents said they fear political instability spreading to their state.

"There has been a lot of worry here about all the recent protests and uncertainty in Mexico," said Rocina Lopez, a 22-year-old computer salesman in the state capital of Villahermosa. "We need peace and jobs, not unrest."

The tension has made some voters worry about going to cast their ballot.

"Why should I risk going to the polls and getting attacked because someone doesn't like who I voted for?" said Jose Hernandez, a farmer in the Indian village of Tucta.

Both parties have also accused each other of electoral dirty tricks.

Lopez Obrador has alleged that the PRI has handed out gifts to poor voters ? a practice that was common during the seven decades the party ran the country. On Tuesday, his aides released a video allegedly showing PRI workers unloading thousands of bicycles and cans of house paint.

PRI spokesman Norberto Lopez Zuniga dismissed the video as "propaganda."

Lopez Obrador is a shopkeeper's son who began his career as a government official working with poor Chontal Indians around Tabasco swamps. Many Chontals still revere him and his party.

"Before he came, we had nothing. He gave us jobs and houses," said Pedro Bernardo a 59-year-old Chontal farmer in Tucta. "Some people can be tricked like frogs and believe the lies they tell about him. But I will never abandon him."

Lopez Obrador himself says the state is a crucial battleground, with nationwide repercussions.

"If the PRI wins Tabasco, our adversaries will laugh at us," Lopez Obrador said, "and say that we even lose in our own land."
