Father figure:
Don Samuel Ruiz of Chiapas, recipient of UNESCO's Simon Bolivar Prize, spoke at a press conference last Tuesday, flanked by Gerardo Aiquel, of the Comité chrétien pour les droits humains en Amérique latine, and Marthe Lapierre from Développement et Paix. A former mediator between the Mexican government and the Zapatistas, Ruiz spoke of the renewed sense of optimism since the Mexican election last summer.
