The poster draws attention to the "corruption, assassinations, and political crimes" of Gonzalo N. Santos, who was running for governor of the state of San Luis Potosí. He was notably accused of ordering the murder of two students. Holding a gun, Santos sits atop the students while his mask-wearing double uses a microphone labeled "radio lies" to address a crowd.
El cartel llama la atención sobre el «latrocinio», el «asesinato» y el «crimen público» de Gonzalo N. Santos, que se presentaba al cargo de gobernador del estado de San Luis Potosí. Se le acusaba de ordenar la muerte de dos estudiantes. Santos, armado con un revólver, aparece sentado sobre los estudiantes mientras un doble suyo cubierto con una máscara usa un micrófono con la inscripción «radio mentiras» para dirigirse a una multitud.
