Will American’s learn in democracy from the thousands of protesters that closed off Mexico City today?
Launching a campaign of civil disobedience that raises the stakes in Mexico’s political crisis, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s supporters seized control of the capital’s imposing Zocalo square on Sunday night as well as a six-mile (10-km) stretch of the elegant Reforma boulevard.
They set up tents and huge tarpaulin covers in the middle of the wide, tree-lined avenue, cutting off all commuter traffic on Monday morning. The avenue is home to Mexico’s stock market, many luxury hotels, government offices, headquarters of major corporations and the U.S. embassy.
That is beautiful to see, great to see democracy in action, we should do that right here in Amerika and stand up to BushCo and Rove.
