		Labastida bit back hard, wounded but indignant, and insisted, to the contrary, that his life was threatened by the Arrellano Félix Cartel of Tijuana, and said that's why he fled the country in 1993 when he took the post of Mexican ambassador to Portugal.
		Labastida has not yet commented on the inconvenient fact that the Tijuana-based Arrellano Félix cartel was - then and now - the chief competitor of the Juárez-based organization of Carrillo that governor Labastida allegedly protected.

		Labastida and Vicente Fox, the candidate of the conservative National Action Party (PAN), are locked in a dead heat in what is seen as a watershed election that could seal Mexico's transition to full-blown democracy from one-party rule.
		Labastida is the first PRI candidate who had to win a party primary.
		Labastida was quick to deny the charge: "During my governorship, not only did we not protect or aid any individual or group connected to crime or delinquency, but, in fact, my family and I were victims of violent aggression because of the fight that we face," he said.

		A primary victory would leave Labastida on the doorstep of the presidency, because the opposition is divided and unlikely to overtake the governing party's candidate in the general election on July 2.
		Labastida likes to recall a 1990 investigation he led as governor into the slaughter of an entire family that chanced upon corrupt police officers unloading cocaine from an aircraft along a Sinaloa highway.

		CuauhtÈmoc C·rdenas said that the 71 years of PRI government in Mexico have turned the country "into a factory of poverty and problems." Likewise, Vicente Fox suggested that the legacy of the PRI is one of corruption, poverty, and social desperation.
		Labastida provoked the discussion when he mentioned a meeting between C·rdenas and Salinas in 1988, apparently trying to imply that C·rdenas had made some kind of deal with Salinas behind closed doors.
		Visibly flustered, Labastida declared that his time as ambassador was in fact an exile of sorts - that he and his wife had received death threats from drug traffickers in Sinaloa who had murdered the state Attorney General while Labastida was governor.

		For Labastida, according to Mexican columnist Raymundo Riva Palacio, “damage control is a strategic priority.” Weighed down by the PRI’s decades-old baggage of corruption, incompetence, brutality and lawlessness, the candidate is dogged by constant questions about allegations of ties to corrupt figures and to Mexico’s powerful drug cartels.
		Labastida attempted in vain to protect the governor and keep him in power — the same man whose forces Labastida had accused in Sinaloa of protecting drug traffickers and of murdering his bodyguard,” says the analyst.
		During Labastida’s governorship, Sinaloa was the state with the highest number of murdered journalists in Mexico, a country already dangerous for investigative and political reporters.
