Mexico City, Mexico, May 29, 2009 / 20:47 pm
The twelve bishops of the State of Mexico City have issued a document as local and regional elections draw near, urging voters to be informed about the candidates and issues in order to responsibly cast their vote when they go to the polls on July 5.
The bishops called for the dignity of the human being to be the “fundamental value” of democracy in Mexico.
In response to the various problems affecting the country, the bishops recalled that politics is “one of the most noble activities in the service of others, as it is a concrete expression of the commitment to the good of the entire community.”
