Post-election 'civil resistance' takes Mexico to the brink
The Mexican government insists that political commentators err when they describe the country as undergoing a 'post-election crisis', even as the apparent loser (by just over half a percentage point) in the 2 July election, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, musters crowds of more than a million in a 'peaceful civil resistance' campaign to demand a full recount of the vote, and disrupts traffic in the capital with 'civil resistance encampments'. The big question taxing Mexicans is what López Obrador and his followers might do if the federal electoral tribunal refuses to order a recount.
