AMLO Declared President of Mexico
Thousands of AMLO supporters protested against President Vicente Fox during militarized Independence Day celebrations at Mexico City's Zocalo Plaza, Saturday Sept. 16, 2006. Up to 20,000 soldiers marched or rode on tanks during a military parade as part of the official observations. Protestors held signs that read: "Fox, Traitor to Democracy." Later on that same day, over a million people flooded the Zocalo to proclaim AMLO the legitimate president of the country.
Hundreds of thousands of supporters of Mexican leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, raise their hands to proclaim him the legitimate president of the country, giving new meaning to Mexico's September 16th, Independence Day celebrations. While over one million Mexicans hailed AMLO at the convention, President Vicente Fox and his president-select "celebrated" outside of the capital - fearing the popular democratic masses.
Supporters of AMLO, from the Party of Democratic Revolution (PRD), raise their arms during the national democratic convention in Zocalo's main square in Mexico City September 16, 2006. Aides said Obrador would use mainly political means rather than widespread protests in leading the opposition against conservative President-select Felipe Calderon.
The masses proclaim AMLO the next President of Mexico. The people also empowered him to create a parallel government in opposition to President select, Calderon. The people will swear in Obrador to his new post on November 20th - ten days before Calderon is to be "inaugurated" on December 1st, 2006.
