Intercultural Communication for Everyday Life

El notable trabajo periodístico de Alberto González -editor de la versión mexicana de Publimetro- es una clara muestra de la impunidad y la fuerza con la que siguen operando los "cacicazgos" en México, uno de los eslabones clave en la interminable cadena de corrupción política. Ésta es la historia del ascenso y la caída de Guadalupe Buendía Torres, mejor conocida como La Loba, una lideresa asociada con el Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) en el oriente del Estado de México. La cacique adquirió notoriedad durante la década de los noventa, cuando se hizo del control de una municipalidad en la que sometió a la población por medio de la administración de servicios públicos como el agua, la electricidad o la recolección de basura. Contra ella existían cientos de averiguaciones por delitos y decenas de quejas por despojo y lesiones. Cierto día, el mismo grupo político que la encumbró, decidió que era hora de renovar los poderes, lo cual representóun alto costo que incluyó varias muertes. El notable trabajo periodístico de Alberto González -editor de la versión mexicana de Publimetro- es una clara muestra de la impunidad y la fuerza con la que siguen operando los "cacicazgos" en México, uno de los eslabones clave en la interminable cadena de corrupción política.
