Thousands protest against government in Mexico City

has lived in Mexico for many years now.

I respectfully disagree with your logic as applying the same strongly implies that lifelong residents of the USA who participated in J6 were acting accordingly.

I can not put my arms around that.

Anything to be contrary, right? Of course you're right. I know many people born here and much older than me who know much less about Mexico and its politics than I do. But Padrino still made the right point correctly, and I'm confident you can indeed wrap your head around it without taking it to any extreme.

Un saludo.

Agreed that many years alone do not make for a reliable source of subject matter. Wisdom comes from those many years combined with a passion for the art and science of one's subject and the courage to seek the truth no matter what. The glaring example of this was Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Chief Medical Advisor to the President of United States. He started his career in the Reagan Administration in the depths of the AIDS hysteria when the politicos in power were terrified even to mouth the word condom. He ended his career during the worst pandemic since the Spanish Flu when a certain powerful individual was suggesting that we inject bleach into our veins to cure the disease. Both times, he was vilified by those who put ideology over science and the common good of all.

In this case, Rob demonstrates that same level of dedication to Mexico and its politics. He speaks with authority. Of course, normally one does not want to rely on just one source for all the information about a complicated topic. However, for me, Mexican politics have been an enigma for years. In this situation, I have not found any source that I trust more than our passionate -- ah, yeah, some may say prickly -- ZihuaRob. For that passion and insight, I am thankful.

Please compare this dedication and passion to the misguided, hate-filled individuals who stormed the Capitol. Without any evidence whatsoever, they were willing to believe the blatant lies of the Dictator Wannabe' and were literally ready to hang members of Congress and the Vice President on his behalf. It is not a fair comparison.

tactics of the MAGA?

Why would you bring this up?

On this day the protest was not only in DF but also in many
states at the same time.

The reporters were interviewin many many pepole all day and
they were very angary with this woman suporting Cuba and Maduro
and not helping any Mexicans.

So ask Rob in his 50 years how many politacal parties were
corrpt in these years.The total is amazing.

You still don't know what you're talking about. Reporters for who? Faux News? TV Azteca? The comments are patently absurd because "this woman" has worked harder than any other president to help all Mexicans. That's why her approval rating continues incredibly strong, above 70%. No one is supporting Maduro. Mexican policy is not to interfere in politics of foreign nations. A notion totally alien to the criminal regime running current U.S. foreign policy. Selling petroleum products to Cuba and employing Cuban doctors is not "supporting Cuba". It's simply having a normal relationship with a neighboring country, something the USA appears totally incapable of doing at the moment.

Anything else you'd like to get off your chest?

If you know the total, why are you asking the question? Why aren’t you giving us the answer?

On a related note, I see that some of the PRI dinosaurs might finally be identified, even in their graves.

So I take it you think you’re in the wrong room.

I don't get it. "ROB" was 100% wrong in his assessment. Time and events since then have proven so. But I gather neither he nor Dalejb pay any attention to Mexican news, since they both attacked me simply for being more knowledgeable on the subject than they are. As I said, time and events have proven my take on the situation to be correct. The violent protests were backed by losers such as the PRI and PAN political parties, who have both become mostly irrelevant in Mexican politics due to their corrupt practices. The protests were also backed by Ricardo Salinas Pliego, who owns the Azteca news media, Banco Azteca and Elektra stores, and who owes hundreds of millions of pesos in back taxes that he doesn't want to pay. Last Saturday there was a much larger turnout in support of Presidenta Sheinbaum than the two protests combined. Over 600,000 people filled the Zócalo and surrounding streets. There was zero violence. No stores had to close. No steel barriers were put up around the businesses or Palacio Nacional. No one was arrested or detained. The presidenta continues to enjoy over 70% support of Mexicans. But no, to my detractors I was the one who was wrong for insisting that I knew what I was talking about, even though I did and they obviously (to me) didn't.

The trash has been taken out.

Just walked around the Zocalo, lots of people, but all calm. Absolutely no signs of the fires that were set on Saturday.

There was a huge Danzón event in the Zócalo of CDMX yesterday afternoon with a much larger turnout than the Gen Z march.
