The left-wing candidate in Mexico's disputed election, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and his backers are occupying the capital's main square and avenues. Mr Lopez Obrador on Sunday called on his adherents to paralyse Mexico City until every vote was recounted. Official results from the 2 July vote gave victory to the conservative Felipe Calderon by half a percentage point. Mr Lopez Obrador alleges vote counts were rigged - but EU monitors have said they found no irregularities. The country's electoral court has until the end of August to rule on a recount.
