Calderon Wants Raise

From the Mexico Solidarity Network:

“President Felipe Calderon called for a 25% raise in the presidential salary, to more than US$20,000 per month. Calderon presented the request to Congress on September 10. The presidential salary is in addition to benefits for clothing, entertainment and travel which can easily surpass the official salary. The request comes after Calderon reduced his own salary immediately after assuming the presidency in an effort to gain popular support after a fraudulent election.”
