Lopez Obrador Protest Camps Disrupt Traffic in Mexico City July 31 (Bloomberg) -- Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's supporters blocked traffic to thousands of businesses and hotels as they set up camps along Mexico City's main avenue to demand a recount of Mexico's July 2 presidential election,
Lopez Obrador, who the country's election agency said lost the vote, yesterday urged hundreds of thousand of protesters packing Mexico City's central square to join 47 protest camps in the capital as he presses for ballot-by-ballot review. Last night and this morning party officials and supporters erected tents in the city center and some of the capital's main streets.
Protester tents completely blocked a stretch of Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City police said in a statement. Reforma provides access to the Mexican stock exchange, the U.S. embassy, Mexico headquarters of HSBC Holdings Plc. and the city's primary hotel district.
Lopez Obrador, who lost to governing party candidate Felipe Calderon according to the country's election agency, pledged to live in the encampments while the electoral court weighs his petition for a recount. The former Mexico City mayor drew as many 1.2 million people to the demonstration yesterday, El Universal newspaper reported, citing police.
