Yes, and it qualifies as News far more than most threads.

If I may join in here. poster StJacques has spent a lot of time translating articles and posting them on FreeRepublic, and not as a personal blog, but as an ahead of the curve effort. There is nothing "cesspool" about what he has been doing.

Thanks for your hard work on the translations.

Yes, this should be moved back to news - it's not a blog or anyone's personal opinion, but an original translation of a Spanish-language article on the Mexican election, which some FReepers have been following.

Unfortunately, most of us don't read Spanish as well as StJacques and wouldn't be able to follow the story by clicking on the link. The U.S. MSM has been largely ignoring the story, which has potential implications here if the situation in Mexico gets worse.

With great respect towards those in charge at FR, I do agree with you.

You have been translating for us the various Mexican papers to keep us apprised of what could end up being the next Mexican revolution.

You are NOT taking us to your personal blog and just because you are acting as a translator for us, there is no reason IMO to consider your deliveries of these important articles and issues as your own blog/comment on the issues.

I think you have been translating with maybe a comment or two after the issue is posted. You have not to my knowledge been posting your opinion as translation...

I think FR doesn't see a lot of this, so maybe they did not know how to handle this, but IMO this is the most BREAKING of Breaking News.

There is a potential Mexican Revolution breaking out IMO.

Keep up the good work and thanks for you efforts to keep us informed.
