There was clearly a decline in the demonstration last week from the numbers who attended the second one, two weeks earlier. The second demonstration evidently brought togeether around 1.2 million people, even though the PRD predicted they would have over 2 million. But last Sunday the Mexican press openly rejected the PRD's claims that over a million attended and set the number at just under or approaching 800,000. The PRD got very angry about that reporting and were very critical of the press early last week.

I haven't seen any official numbers for today's demonstrations but I have no doubt whatsoever they will be significantly less than last week. Lopez Obrador and the PRD depend upon people in Mexico City and the surrounding State of Mexico to show up for these protest meetings and these people have been complaining openly about the shutdown of central Mexico City by AMLO and his followers this week, and numerous defections from his organization have become very public, so I must assume that attendance is dwindling. But I'll put some numbers up for you when and if I find them.

I talked to some City Employees of MEXICO CITY. Everyone who is a MUNICIPAL employee is expected to be in the demonstrations. All of the trash collector for example, instead of getting trash, are supposed to follow their leaders, whine in front of the Election Commission. Those NOT employed by the Governor of Mexico City, known as GDF, are getting very irate, tempers are flaring inspite of the deluge of water, hail etc. Obviously AMLO is seeking a showdown. Stand by for NEWS. Everyone is accepting that there never was fraud, this is a FRONT to try to steal the elections with a MOB.
