I couldn't tell from Reforma's numerous photos that the numbers are dwindling. The distance between the Zocalo and that other place (Torre PeMex maybe) is substantial, isn't it? Maybe the use of a human chain wasn't necessarily to hide numbers. I guess the human chain has symbolic usefulness in that it shows how many roadways can be blocked with this enduring culture of impunity. And it's a fresh new approach to AMLO's frustrations.

Either way, it would seem that support is dying down...
