Translation:

“NO to corruption”

“YES to help those who have less”

This billboard was put up by Mexican businessman Victor Gonzalez Torres for his attempt to enter the 2006 presidential campaign. He is nicknamed “Dr Simi” after the mascot used for his nation wide drugstores, Farmacias Similares. Despite not being an official candidate he still achieved much press coverage for his platform of anti-corruption and promotion of low lost health services.

Unfortunately, he did not win.
