Felipe Calderón - Publicidad - Part 3

Difficulty: Intermediate

Mexico

Educado en Harvard, a quien el New York Times una vez describiera como “una hombre que habla con todo el fuego e ímpetu de un economista” fue percibido por la opinión pública en México como un candidato de derecha, amigo de empresarios. En este comercial es evidente el esfuerzo por convertirlo en una antítesis del otro contendiente fuerte en las elecciones presidenciales de México del 2006: Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador.

Tu Rock es Votar - Armando - Part 2

Difficulty: Intermediate

Mexico

Could it be that the “Tu Rock es Votar” campaign resulted in a closer Mexican 2006 election, one that ironically left the youth feeling more disillusioned than ever? Felipe Calderón Hinojosa edged out Andrés Manuel López Obrador by such a thin margin that the losing side demanded a total recount, which was not granted. The ensuing cloud surrounding the election left a bitter taste in the mouths of many Mexicans.

¡Tierra, Sí! - Atenco - Part 3

Difficulty: Adv-Intermediate

Mexico

Something that induces lagrimas (tears) is said to be lacrimógeno. So if you were organizing a Festival de cine lacrimógeno, only tear-jerkers would fit the bill. If, on the other hand, you were organizing a protest of the forced seizure of your family’s farm, you might find yourself crying because of the gas lacrimógeno wafting through the air.

Felipe Calderón - Publicidad - Part 2

Difficulty: Intermediate

Mexico

Does Felipe Calderón love his children? We are quite sure that he does. If this promotional video for the possible heir to fellow PANista Vicente Foxe seems to you to have a “North of the border” slickness, it may not be simply coincidental.

Tu Rock es Votar - Comercial de TV - Part 1

Difficulty: Intermediate

Mexico

Just over a quarter of Mexico’s 127.5 million people are aged 18-24, and as such the “youth vote” could easily make or break any candidate in Mexico’s upcoming election on July 2. Patterned after the “Rock the Vote” campaign in the USA, Tu Rock Es Votar is running a television, radio and web campaign that hopes to improve voter turnout in the Mexican youth population despite a general desencantado (“disenchanted”) attitude found amongst all eligible voters.
