Mexican Public Opposes Desafuero

Narconews reports that recent polls show strong public opposition to the tactics of the PAN and PRI parties in Mexico. They have been attempting to remove all political rights from Mexico City's governor Andrés Manuel López Obrador so that he can't run for president in 2006. López Obrador has led the PAN and PRI candidates in most recent polls.

Chances are that this popular uprising against Clinton-Bush favorite President Vicente Fox's plan to silence a rival won't be featured as part of the "flowering of democracy" BS being spread so thickly lately.
