The supporters of uber-loser Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador have declared a "parallel government" with AMLO as the head of state. They have declared that the president-elect of Mexico, Felipe Calderon is not really the winner and refuse to recognize him.
Lopez Obrador's supporters, who insist fraud denied the leftist the July 2 election, derided Fox as a "crook" during the parade. Fox and President-elect Felipe Calderon are both from the conservative National Action Party.
After the parade passed, Lopez Obrador supporters moved back into the capital's enormous main square, Zocalo. They set up temporary meeting places for the hundreds of thousands of delegates they expected to attend what they were calling a "National Democratic Convention."
Lopez Obrador supporters had camped out for nearly seven weeks in the Zocalo, clogging the heart of the capital until Friday when they agreed to end their protest. On Friday night, as holiday celebrations kicked off, Fox stayed away from the square and went to another city to avoid confrontation with Lopez Obrador loyalists holding their own party there.
Lopez Obrador, who refuses to recognize Calderon's election, arrived in the late afternoon Saturday, greeting supporters from a large stage in front of the National Palace.
Convention members, voting with a show of hands, elected Lopez Obrador as Mexico's "legitimate" president and formally refused to accept Calderon's administration. Calderon is scheduled to take office on Dec. 1.
"There has been a big fraud and we are no longer able to accept that the federal electoral institute spent 28 billion pesos to commit fraud," said Antonio Romano Hernandez, a 56-year-old baker from Mexico City. "This convention is the most palpable proof of how the people of Mexico feel."
Which means what exactly? Any nation that treats with these people is encouraging civil war. If any nation (hint, Venezuela, Cuba) does treat with them, it should rightfully be regarded as an act of war. When they realize that the legitimate government will not give them any benefits or help them in any way, AMLO's sleazoid power-grab will collapse under its own weight of fraud.
