This is why I can hardly read the news anymore

Mexico is a crazy mixed up place nowadays. Not that it's worse than other countries, but the current political situation is still a bit out of control. Here are a few highlights:

Mexican election results are still being disputed.
I understand that Lopez Obrador has a lot of support and wants to be president, but here's what I don't get:
- If he only questioned the results of some polling areas, why does he expect the courts to approve a full recount instead of just the areas he disputes?
- If he cares about Mexico, why create chaos and cost the city so much money and hassle?
It seems that the biggest losers at the moment are Obrador's supporters who are striking (ie. giving up their income) and who live or work in the areas most affected by the protests (downtown). The "rich" mostly live and work in the outskirts of the city and are generally unaffected by the chaos downtown.
I guess he never claimed to promote democracy, but what kind of government would he run if he doesn't respect "the authorities" (ie. if he'll reject the recount if it doesn't come out in his favor?)

Here's today's update:
Mexico "leftists" blockade foreign banks.
Attacking foreign investment is generally a good way to show the country that you will make strong, sound leader promoting economic stability.

I'm still working on getting the full story, but there are still lots of holes and I'd rather take the side of peace and prosperity.
