In Mexico it's a way of life. Squatters have always been camped out at the Zocalo, Calle Lopez was shut down by the Trique Tribe of Indians. They had homes in Oaxaca, but wanted a home in Mexico City and a market to sell their weavings. They camped in the street, and got what they demanded. Thousands of people who brought cars into the country demanded that they get 'tags', and gov't has developed a policy of giving oil to the wheels that screeched. Power was never in contracts, agreements, treaties, charters, signed papers or law, it was in the ZAPATA on his horse. AMLO on his lst night likened himself as unto Higaldo. So if the PEOPLE think that they are 'more', no matter what agreements or promises to pay loans, or keep their word, anything can be annulled by the voice of the mob. People in Mexico generally don't trust police. This ball could bounce either way. But to put the glove on AMLO's hand, he was Governor of Mexico City, and not much was seen in terms of stopping corruption. When they paid 7 million dollars for Rudy Gulianti to come to town and talk about ZERO Tolerance, he wasn't allowed to bring in his trainers to teach police to enforce 100% of the law, 100% of the time. Everyone knew that the police didn't make enough in wages to feed their families, and would need to collect some of their own bribes and revenues on the side. The problem didn't start with the election, there is a lot of interest groups that know that if they loose power, they'll loose their source of livelihood.
