Mexico: Tent Cities Cause Chaos

Lots and lots of news from Mexico. Ana Maria Salazar says that tent cities have already been installed in various parts of Mexico City in support of Lopez Obrador. “These avenues are totally closed off to traffic and became pedestrian walkways. (Needless to say the traffic was chaotic today. I am serious, if you live in Mexico City stay away from these areas, although I have been told that the traffic jams can be felt kilometers away.” Olganza reminds readers (ES) that in November 2000, Obrador signed an edict prohibiting the blockage of any of the city's main arteries. Ceci Connolly links to a Guardian article describing moviemaker Luis Mandoki as “Mexico's Michael Moore.” Goleech says that even Lopez Obrador supporters should not cause chaotic disruptions (ES) in the capital city. Finally, Mark in Mexico keeps us up to date on the teacher's strike in Oaxaca.

    You have too many rules. Politically correct ‘speech’ is an obvious sign of communism. Don’t worry, I don’t participate in people’s websites who hate free speech and therefore democracy.
