Mexicans Protest Wal-Mart Opening Near Ancient Pyramids

HeadlineNov 08, 2004

In Mexico, Wal-Mart has opened a new superstore within a half mile of the 2000-year-old pyramids at Teotihuacan. Environmental groups had protested the location of the store because it was so close to the ancient pyramids. One of the lead opponents of the Wal-Mart, Homero Aridjis, said, “It’s like planting the staff of globalization in the heart of ancient Mexico. It is supremely symbolic.”
