Mexico’s Che Guevara emerges as sex symbol
Subcomandante Marcos, the elusive, balaclava-wearing Mexican revolutionary, has emerged from the jungle to appear as a “sex symbol” on the cover of a celebrity magazine.
The rebel commander, who led an armed uprising of Chiapas Indians in 1994, was photographed for Quien (Who) magazine with his face covered and puffing on his trademark pipe, which he smokes through a hole in the black mask.
The article, headlined The Sub’s Secret Love, described the 48-year-old as a “sex symbol of the jungle” and claimed he was in a relationship with a journalist.
It also coincided with his Zapatista National Liberation Army’s recent announcement of a new Leftist movement that hopes to influence next year’s presidential elections.
Marcos plans to revive popular support with a tour of the country’s 32 states, the first time in five years that the Zapatistas will be seen marching outside their south-eastern mountain region.
