  Riot police prevent supporters of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador from getting to National Congress in Mexico City Mexican Police, Protesters Clash By VOA News 15 August 2006 Riot police prevent supporters of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador from getting to National Congress in Mexico City Mexican riot police have fired tear gas to disperse protesters who massed outside Congress to demand a full recount in last month's disputed presidential election. Officials say the tear gas was fired to end a brief clash Monday between police and supporters of leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. The former Mexico City mayor has alleged fraud in the election that he narrowly lost to his rival, conservative Felipe Calderon, and has called for all the votes to be recounted. http://www.voanews.com/english/2006-08-15-voa6.cfm |
