co-presidents of the Authentic Labor Front (FAT), has resigned her position
with the independent union federation to take office as controller of the
government of Mexico City, as a member of the cabinet of Mayor Andrés Manuel

pledges to continue to work for the FAT’s ideals, is pictured here speaking
