MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - An ex-member of an informal police force running for Mexico's Senate is battling attacks labelling her a "kidnapper," drawing attention to radical proposals by her ally, presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, to end the drug war.
Nestora Salgado, who once ran a local community police force in the opium-rich southwestern state of Guerrero, said she had filed a lawsuit accusing ruling party presidential candidate Jose Antonio Meade of defamation after he called her a "kidnapper" in a televised debate.
