MEXICO CITY - Thousands gathered in cities throughout Mexico on Sunday to protest against President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s drive to shrink the independent electoral authority, arguing the changes threaten democracy - an accusation he vigorously denies.which Lopez Obrador has repeatedly attacked as corrupt and inefficient.
Veronica Echevarria, a 58-year-old psychologist from Mexico City taking part in the protest, said she was worried Lopez Obrador’s overhaul of the INE was an attempt by him to take control of the electoral authority so he could stay in power. She and thousands of others converged towards the Zocalo via the city’s Paseo de la Reforma Boulevard on Sunday morning, many of them dressed in pink, the colors of the INE.
The INE and its predecessor played a key role in creating a pluralistic democracy that in 2000 ended decades of one party rule, according to many political analysts.
