Oaxaca is Closed in Solidarity with APPO
Aug 29th
Oaxaca City is almost entirely closed today… I am the only tourist staying at my hostel today… even the Zocalo is eerily quiet… The radio transmissions for Radio La Ley were cut-off sometime during the (early morning hours). Radio La Ley, a corporate radio station owned by … Clear Channel, was recently taken over in solidarity with Asamblea Popular del Pueblo de Oaxaca (APPO). Approximately three radio stations are still in the hands of APPO and its supporters. A “MegaMarcha” will be held on September 1st. Read more and view photo
Supporters of AMLO Declare, “No al Pinche Fraude”
Aug 21st
On August 19th, 20th and 21st, I walked around various sections of the planton set up throughout Mexico City. Many working class people from all over Mexico have travelled to Mexico City to demand a full recount of the votes cast during the national election which took place on July 6th. Shouts of “voto por voto, casilla por casilla” (vote for vote, ballot box for ballot box) are heard everywhere as these people believe a recount will change the official results of the presidential election.
