``Cuba: Articles by Castro Laud Ex-Candidate From Mexico
By DAVID AGREN
Published: August 13, 2010


Comments by Fidel Castro in support of the runner-up in Mexico’s 2006 presidential election, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, threaten to revive diplomatic tensions between Cuba and Mexico, which was once one of its staunchest allies in Latin America. In articles on Thursday and Friday in the Communist Party newspaper Granma, Mr. Castro quoted from Mr. López Obrador’s new book, which accuses the Mexican elite of improperly increasing its fortunes from 2000 to 20006, during President Vicente Fox’s tenure. Mr. Castro supports the claim by Mr. López Obrador, a former Mexico City mayor, that the 2006 presidential election was rigged. Mr. Castro said he had never spoken with or befriended Mr. López Obrador, who is expected to run for president again in 2012.''

From NYT.

I posted below an Ignacio Copani video. He is referring to the rich ladies protest in Argentina a few years back.  They wanted more money for the owners of the soy bean fields. The  ``peasants''; their wealthy husbands, did not like the Krishner Government decision to get more money from them, given the poor economic health of Argentina, at that point.

There are rich, and poor classes. Which side are you in?
