Mexican politician campaigns from coffin

CIUDAD JUAREZ: A Mexican congressional candidate launched his election campaign in a coffin on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) to highlight the country’s many thousands of deaths from the coronavirus pandemic and cartel-related violence.

Carlos Mayorga, a lower house candidate for the Encuentro Solidario party in the northern state of Chihuahua, said he was sending a message to politicians that people were dying “because of their indifference.”
