Mexico - 2016, a year of historical defeat of the PRI in state elections (Spanish)

The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) received the most devastating electoral blow in its history this June 5, in a democratic contest over the governorship of the states.

The party of president Enrique Peña Nieto lost 7 of 12 governorships in play and among them surrendered to the opposition four states it had governed in consecutive elections for 86 years; Durango, Quintan Roo, Veracruz, and Tamaulipas.

The PRI will cease to govern these last two states, the most important in the Gulf of Mexico and where a strong presence of organized crime has been reported for at least 10 years fighting over control of drug trafficking routes.

El PRI dejará de gobernar esos dos últimos estados, los más importantes del Golfo de México y en donde desde hace al menos una década se reporta fuerte presencia de grupos del crimen organizado que disputan territorio y rutas de trasiego de droga.

Lady Mormont was at the battle of the bastards

So, what became of her?

At the tender age of 10?

Wicked good character.

What really stung was not that I was banned from posting on the HRC group

But that they didn't lock the offending thread.

So for days Hillarites bashed the thread like a piñata but I could not post a single reply.

That was sadistic.

And I won't forget that.

Or forgive it.

Or the person who did it.
