Tens of thousands of mostly opposition supporters are protesting against Mexico’s president in the capital’s vast colonial-era main plaza ahead of the June presidential election.

Mexican opposition supporters hold up a flag during a rally, protesting what they claim are attempts by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to divide the country, in the Zocalo, Mexico City, Sunday, May 19, 2024. Mexico is set to hold general elections June 2.– Tens of thousands of mostly opposition supporters protested Sunday against Mexico’s president in the capital's vast colonial-era main plaza ahead of the June presidential election.

But many protesters carried banners supporting opposition candidate Xóchitl Gálvez. Former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum of the president's Morena party appears to be leading the race going into the June 2 vote.Mexico City resident Joel Guerra, 59, carried a sign that read “Reclaim Mexico.” Guerra was particularly concerned by a new law that López Obrador has passed that seizes unclaimed personal pension accounts to hand out to other retirees.

López Obrador frequently attacks anyone who disagrees with him as “racist, classist, conservative.” He also favors state-owned companies and government hand-out programs and derides the accumulation of personal wealth.
