Mexico: Tempers flare over presidential election controversy
Supporters of Felipe Calderon and Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador have
intensified their vitriol against each other
inasmuch as the Mexican
government is pleading for calm
.
Though Calderon was declared as provisional winner, Lopez Obrador declared the elections as
“illegitimate”
and it is possible for the federal electoral tribunal to
rule in his favor
. (Image shows anti-Calderon protestor hanging a poster in
