To: StJacquesYes, and it qualifies as News far more than most threads.

There is nothing "cesspool" about what he has been doing.

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.

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.
Indeed. I don't know why in the world these threads would be relegated to the personal & blogger section. These threads defintely belong in breaking news. What is happening in Mexio now could have far-reaching and profound impact on the US. We need to be better informed on these developments.
