Mexican Crucifies Self On Cross Because She Was Barred From Standing For Office [Photos]

This is serious. A candidate who was banned from standing in the Mexican local elections protested by crucifying herself on a cross.

Rafaela Orozco Romo, 47, was standing as an independent candidate for the 31 District of Iztapalapa, the poorest borough in Mexico City, in the Federal District Legislative Assembly.

Despite gathering enough signatures to support her application, the National Election Institute prevented her from standing as she had forgotten to submit her expenses.

 To make a stand, the aspiring politician crucified herself on a giant 20 foot wooden cross in front of the National Election Institute, in Mexico City.
