Rubén Aguilar

Rubén Aguilar (born 1947) is a journalist, a former guerrilla,[1] and the press secretary for Mexican President Vicente Fox.[2] He is son of a former chair of the Banking Association in Mexico, and a former Jesuit[2] (he left the order in 1979 after 14 years).

He was involved in a guerrilla in El Salvador for five years before he returned to Mexico. He was part of the "Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional" (Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front)[1] whose slogan was "Revolution or Death! The armed people will win!". In that front he led the Information Committee where he founded the Salpress news agency[1] (based in Mexico) and helped to bring injustices to public light.
