The teachers and APPO have taken over the zocalo and once again, it is filled with protesters, their tents, cars, food stalls, vendors, it is packed. 
The weather is hot, hot, hot. I tried to walk around but all the ropes are a chest level for me. It was difficult. People just hang under the coverings.
Businesses are really hurting. The cafes are barely accessible. Not only that, the protesters blocked the main supermarkets and malls yesterday as well as other governmental offices and agencies. Whether or not this is an effective strategy to get the government to address their grievances remains to be seen. Seeing as though many of the problems have been going on for years, I am doubtful. The sit-in in the zocalo is scheduled for two more weeks.

I've seen these happen again and again. They only seem to aggravate the regular citizens. Didn't the government offices move off of the Zocalo?
