Derecho de réplica

This book by Carlos Ahumada is a guide to bidding and winning... with a lot of corruption involved.


Buisnessman Ahumada seems quite innocent repeating once and once again: "Yes, I gave them a lot of money but I wasn't asking for anything back. I just wanted to be taken into consideration in the next bidding."

A lot of corruption at all levels in the PRD, the left-wing party governing Mexico City since 1997. Carlos Ahumada gave tons of pesos in cash to people like René Bejarano, Carlos Ímaz, Ramón Sosamontes, Rosario Robles, and many more.


Leftist corruption, as well as there is right-wing corruption and center-wing corruption. Nothing new under the sun.

Many things about the businessman are not revealed in his book, the most obvious being: how could he become a wealthy businessman having been a poor boy? How could he gather millions of pesos in such a short period?

I still have to contrast this testimony with Raúl Monge's El tango de Ahumada (Grijalbo, 2004).

By the way, there are very good interviews by Carmen Aristegui in YouTube where Raúl Monge and José Antonio Crespo reveal more about Carlos Ahumada, the videoscandals, and the politics involved:
