Conversation in the Cathedral II

As El Universal tells it, the Cathedral incident seems to be a perfect catalyst for a favorite Mexican pastime--conspiracy theories.

PRD officials are suggesting that the Cathedral bells were rung on purpose to provoke an angry response that would discredit AMLO's Sunday political meeting. They even go so far as to suggest that those who burst into the Cathedral may have been infiltrators, playing the role that had been assigned to them. One PRD official said he saw a "black hand" at work in the whole affair.

In any event it is clear that the PRD fears that the whole mess will damage its image.
