Political activity

While looking at the website of BajaBound.com Mexican insurance services, I clicked on the page of "Your legal rights as a Forigner in Mexico" I found the following paragraph very interesting.

Foreigners Cannot Engage in Political Activity
The Mexican consititution states very clearly that "Foriegners shall not in any way involve themselves in the political matters of the country" This is emphatically interpreted to mean that foreigners do not have the right to vote, run for public office, or participate in any political event, rally or demonstration. Additionally, foreigners should stay away from all political activity including any kind of demonstration or protest even if you think it is seemingly non-political. Engaging in these kinds of activites is a good way to get yourself kicked out of the country.

I beleive I will refrain as advised.

Lou! Excellent Advice!

If any of our Nomads get involved and end up getting Kicked out of the Country, I will tell some stories about "Early Times in Baja sur, regarding "Politics"

If any of the "Ole timers around Loreto" read the information it might Hurt some present residents of that Area.

My advice is stick to the Politics in your own Country, if not someday your actions will come back to you in a very Rude Manner!

"En boca cerrada no entran moscas".....In closed mouth no flies get in.

A very old mexican saying that implies that when you keep what you think for yourself, it is difficult to get into trouble. It seems appropiatte for this case.
