Large Turnout Expected For Assembly of AMLO Supporters

HeadlineSep 15, 2006

In Mexico, a massive gathering is expected in the capital Saturday for supporters of former Presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. The conference will address the response to last week’s ruling certifying the electoral victory of conservative candidate Felipe Calderon. Lopez Obrador has proposed establishing an “alternative government.” He spoke in Mexico City Thursday.

  • Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador: “It’s not possible any more to continue with the same worn out regime of corruption and of privileges. It’s not possible any more to continue with this ballast that is preventing Mexico from forging ahead, which is preventing its people from living.”
