MEXICO CITY – The last time Mexico experienced a political crisis more serious than the one it is undergoing today was in 1994, when a group of so-called Zapatista guerrillas staged a semi-armed uprising in the southern state of Chiapas. The president’s handpicked successor was assassinated, and, as if that was not enough, the value of the peso had plummeted by nearly 70%.
墨西哥城——上次墨西哥上演一场比现在更严重的政治危机还是在1994年，当时一伙所谓的萨帕塔游击队在墨西哥南部的恰帕斯州发动了一次半武装起义。不仅总统亲自挑选的继任者被暗杀，而且比索价值也暴跌了近70%。目前这次危机虽然还没演变到如此地步，但也正在逐步靠近。
