23. Life in Mexico's political 'tent city'Updated at 6:51 PM
Edited on Thu Aug-24-06 12:08 AM by cal04

The tents are packed with protesters - many with their children - who want to change the outcome of the election.



The tents stretch out along the city's major avenues


"It is about not letting democracy go to rot here in Mexico"
Alicia



Addressing about a half-million marchers filling the city's historic central plaza and spilling down fashionable Reforma boulevard, Lopez Obrador said, "I propose we stay here permanently until the court resolves this ... That we stay here day and night."
