Mexico's
Chocolate Massage
For Congress
|
Deputies
in Mexico City have been offered a chance to kick back with
a full-body chocolate massage. A deputy stirred up a fuss
by offering fellow lawmakers a 10 percent discount on massages
at a posh salon even as proposed legislative measures seen
as important to the economy gather dust.
Angelica
de la Pena, a member for the leftist Party of the Democratic
Revolution, sent the lower chamber's 500 members a letter
on official notepaper last week urging them to try the salon
and recommending anti-depression "chocolate massages."

The
massage parlor cited in the letter described the chocolate massage
as a full-body treatment involving a massage with cocoa and essential
oils that cost 500 pesos ($43) and lasted about 90 minutes.
It
was not known if any deputies took up the offer of a discount.
President Vicente Fox has been frustrated by Congress' rejection
of his economic reform proposals since he came to power in 2000.
His National Action Party is in the minority in the lower chamber
and analysts see little chance of major legislation being passed
before the next presidential election in two years. Earlier this
year, a senior Green Party deputy drew attention to Congress'
inaction when he spent weeks on a reality TV show instead of attending
to legislative matters.
So
it seems that extreme behavior in any political party is a reflection
of the imbalance that our world holds. Perhaps one day we will
work for those things that matter... like the people that politicians
are supposed to be working to help!
