Responding to the government’s refusal to conduct a national public consultation on whether to allow foreign companies to participate in the Mexican oil industry, the opposition leader Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced a peaceful civil resistance. Obrador calls for blocking off legislative chambers across the country, a boycott of the Televisa television network and Soriana stores, and to refuse paying electricity bills or the new tax. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts Voz Pública from Mexico City.
Guests: Andrés Manuel López Obrador, leader of the National Regeneration Movement (recording of speech fragment); Graciela Zúñiga; Ana María Hernández; Margarita Rosas; Cecilia, Ana María and María Zoraida, and Borges López Verdad.
