“Mexico’s top electoral body ordered broadcasters to stop running a controversial TV ad on Monday that compares a firebrand leftist leading a siege of Congress to dictators Hitler and Pinochet.

“The complaints committee decided unanimously to order the withdrawal of the spot from today,” a spokesman for the Federal Electoral Institute told Reuters.”*
