 CNN.com - Outgoing Mexican government concludes candidate slain by lone gunman - October 20, 2000
MEXICO CITY (AP) -- The outgoing Mexican government has concluded that the 1994 assassination of presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio was the act of a mentally unstable, lone gunmen, and that the myriad of conspiracy theories surrounding the murder are groundless.
Colosio was shot once in the head and once in the stomach at point blank range during a campaign rally of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, the PRI, in the northern city of Tijuana on March 23, 1994.
The assassination of Colosio in 1994 intensified an existing climate of instability in Mexico, triggered by the Zapatista uprising in the southern state of Chiapas at the start of that year.

The Colosio assassination, combined with the ongoing rebellion by the Zapatista, National Liberation Army (E2LN) in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, are challenges for the Salinas government, but they will be overcome.
In the wake of the uprising in Chiapas in January, the Colosio, assassination has created a sense of chaos and uncertainty in Mexico at the very time that Salinas's economic and political reforms are beginning to pay dividends.
Colosio's cam- paign message was that, as president, he would address these very real concerns, while maintaining the eco- nomic course of Salinas's free market revolution.

In a ruling in mid-March, the special prosecutor in charge of investigating the assassination of former presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio said the incident was a random act and not a plot by any political groups, drug traffickers, or secret agents.
Colosio's killer, Mario Aburto, was arrested at the scene and later sentenced to 46 years in prison.
Gonzalez's report said that Aburto Martinez killed Colosio to achieve "fame and notoriety." Aburto had delusions of grandeur and saw himself as a savior to society, Gonzalez said in testimony before the Chamber of Deputies.

 Staying Alive: The "Mexican Miracle" Nosedives
The stunning assassination of Luis Donaldo Colosio this past March 24 is only the most recent (at this writing) bloodletting conducted during the watch of Carlos Salinas.
Until March 24, Colosio was to be pitted against Cuauht‚moc C rdenas, a candidate many Mexicans fervently believe edged out Salinas in '88 only to have victory fraudulently snatched from him in the vote count.
Now, led by a bloodless candidate who has no popular support, and torn by internal dissension that may well have cost Colosio his life, the ruling PRI no longer appears the vaunted bastion of stability it has always claimed to be.

Colosio had made his career in the PRI, as of this writing, the world's oldest ruling party, a corporativist behemoth riddled with mafias.
It was Colosio, when he was head of the party, who went on national TV to concede the 1989 loss of the Baja California governorship to the PAN -- the first loss of a governorship since the party's founding.

For example, AMDA officials noted that dealers in San Luis Potosi state sold only about 45 cars in the first three months of the year, compared with 300 vehicles in the same period in 1994.
In fact, the only new conclusion reached by special prosecutor Chapa Bezanilla's office is to confirm that Colosio was killed by bullets shot from two different guns and that the assassination was indeed a "plot." The conclusion, however, did not implicate any current or former political figures.
In a special section marking Colosio's assassination, the daily newspaper La Jornada said that the Attorney General's Office (PGR) is investigating the theory that Othon Cortes had originally intended his bullet for Aburto and not for Colosio.
