Mexican police break up demonstration by Lopez Obrador supporters.
MEXICO CITY -- For the first time since Mexico's contentious July 2 presidential election, federal police on Monday used tear gas and truncheons to break up a demonstration by supporters of leftist presidential challenger Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Federal police said they resorted to force to remove protesters from the front of the Chamber of Deputies after a long and fruitless dialogue asking them not to block the entrance.
Lopez Obrador has called for a stream of protests to pressure Mexico's Federal Electoral Tribunal, which is considering his challenge to the election. On Sunday, Lopez Obrador said protests would continue if he and supporters believe (Presidente elect) Calderon's victory is illegitimate.
