| 1. Leftists block Mexico stock market in vote protest |
 MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Hundreds of leftists protesting alleged fraud in a tight presidential election shut down Mexico's stock market building on Thursday, although the demonstration had no impact on trading. The stock exchange, a symbol of free market reforms in Mexico, stands on the elegant Reforma boulevard that runs through central Mexico City and was seized on Sunday by supporters of leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Protesters surrounded the building early on Thursday and were blocking access to employees. All trading is carried out electronically, however, and no problems were expected. "Trading will not be affected. Schedules remain the same for all markets: equities, money and derivatives," stock market spokesman Guillermo Medina said. http://go.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=13071495&src=rss/topNews Go, LEFTISTS! |
