The tents below contain former utility workers who are protesting President Calderon´s recent privatization of the country´s electricity supplies right outside of his window. They march frequently and peaceably through downtown Mexico City guided and protected by police escorts. No ¨free speech zones¨ here!
Moreover, perhaps for historical reasons, the workers in Mexico tend to be more politically aware of class consciousness and class warfare. Marxism, for instance, is still considered a viable platform for resistance among ordinary people.
On less serious matters...
In the foreground is an excellent veal dinner that cost $110 pesos, that is, about ten bucks.
