Following yesterday's demonstrations

Mexico City Mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador returns to work

he's rapidly becoming untouchable... well, maybe not... i remember quite well when luis donaldo colosio was assassinated while campaigning in 1994 and instantly became a national hero... at least obrador's a hero while he's still alive...


Zocalo, Mexico D.F.

Sunday's protest was one of the biggest marches Mexico had ever seen, with thousands travelling from all over the country to attend.

Organisers said 1.2 million people were present, though officials put the number at 120,000.

no matter how you count, it's a lot... the zocalo can hold at least 250,000 and it looks like they're backed up solid into every side street...

Mr Lopez Obrador is accused of breaching a court order after allowing the construction of an access road to a city hospital said to go through a disputed plot of expropriated land.

It is now up to a judge to decide whether he should be prosecuted. If he is ordered to face trial, he will be barred under the constitution from running for office and will have to stand down as mayor.
