The ironic Mexican Green Party

Mexico will have elections on July, 5. It's regional elections and for a part of the Congress. As you can imagine, the city is a big political outdoor. Buses are covered, many outdoors and even in movie theaters you have political ads.

From the ads, it's possible to infer that security is the top priority of the voters. Every candidate tries to convey the message that they will tackle down the crime issue.

Including the Green Party. But they are way more drastic than the other parties. I have photographed one of the Green Party (partido verde) but the city is filled with the outdoors and they have an actress-slash-ecologist on the TV spots promoting the party ideas.

Judge for yourself. Dark humor? Or willingness to do anything to win an election?



NB: pena de muerte in spanish is death penalty
