It's not only the leftist but apolitical people who didn't have interest on political parties are joining tho the masive protests in Mexico. They know it didn't mean anything when they went to cast their vote, because the party in power (PAN) and the Federal Institutions commited fraud not against Obrador, but against them, the people who voted. Mexico's leftists continue protest MEXICO CITY, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Leftist protesters backing former Mexican presidential candidate, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, clashed with security officers, trying to block the door to president-elect Felipe Calderon's transition headquarters on Thursday. Elite soldiers of the Presidential Staff and officers from the Federal Preventative Police, who were guarding the headquarters, frustrated the plans of the Revolutionary Democratic Party (PRD) members. Gerardo Fernandez Norona, a spokesman for Obrador's PRD, and Marti Batres Guadarrama, PRD chief in Mexico City, were trying to hang a sign saying "Illegitimate President and Usurper" on the front of the building. Obrador and his supporters are waging a campaign, which they describe as "resisting the imposition of a right-wing candidate," alleging that the election that brought Calderon to power was a fraudulent one. After a scuffle with security officers, some 40 PRD supporters engaged in a shouting match, chanting "Felipe the Usurper" across the barriers, while Calderon supporters shouted back "Felipe won" and "keep dancing for six more years." Calderon, President Elect and former candidate of the ruling National Action Party (PAN) won the July 2 election with a slim margin of 0.56 percentage point, and will take office on Dec. 1. Lopez Obrador has refused to concede defeat, alleging massive fraud in the electoral process, and said he will not recognize the incoming administration. [+/-] Hide/Show this post
