I remember when this happened a few days ago the first guess was it was a hack, since the image isn’t hard to find and has been on Twitter multiple times even.

I don’t think any official statement has been made, which is…odd.

At the root of the conflict are plans by López Obrador, which were approved last week by Mexico’s Senate, to cut salaries and funding for local election offices, and scale back training for citizens who operate and oversee polling stations. The changes would also reduce sanctions for candidates who fail to report campaign spending.

The legislative initiative, known as “Plan B”, was proposed by the president in December after he did not obtain enough votes in Congress for a constitutional reform that carried deeper electoral changes.

Watch this one instead. It’s not one of Ken Russell’s best films, but it is still a Ken Russell film! (Scored by Thomas Dolby too!)

Oh, and I forgot Julian Sands was in it. Now I am very sad
