And in Mexico, more than half a million people are expected to gather in Mexico City Sunday for a massive rally in support of Andrez Manuel Lopez Obrador’s court challenge for a full recount of the presidential vote. Tens of thousands have already set off from across the country on what organizers are calling the “March for Democracy.” On Thursday, Lopez Obrador held a news conference in Mexico City.
- Mexican Presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador: “It’s clear that constitutional principles were violated, that there wasn’t equity, that there wasn’t legality, that there wasn’t independence— all this is clear. It was filthy. However, if the votes are counted, they will show we were victorious despite all the filth.”
