| Mexico - The War for the Presidency |
| Tent City: The Struggle for Democracy is Priceless... A photo essay of the sit-ins in Mexico City |
| Por Sara Téllez Durand para BARRIOZONA |
| Protesters in Mexico City have blocked a 6-mile stretch by camping out along Reforma and Juarez Avenues, as well as in and around the Zocalo Plaza. The plantón or sit-in has caused no impact in the original outcome of the July 2 presidential election. The sit-in has crippled, instead, the traffic and the economy along this important tourism district, causing a huge loss in revenue and jobs. This photo-essay shows cultural aspects of the sit-in. |
