Tuesday 28 November 2006
4:56 p.m. A new confrontation among federal deputies of the National Action Party (PAN) and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) was provoked at the foot of the rostrum of the Chamber of Deputies, which continues to be occupied by legislators of both factions.
At 4:13 p.m., the legislators of both groups were involved in a quarrel in which blows and verbal insults shone forth.
A deputy of the PAN, Gregorio Moya, and Victor Varela of the PRD, pushed each other with eagerness to gain positions at the rostrum.
After the quarrel, the deputy of the PRD for the State of Mexico, Alberto Lopez, had to be evacuated from the sessions room in a wheelchair.
As of this moment they have not arrived at any agreement between the factions to evacuate the rostrum, looking ahead to the Toma de Protesta1 of Felipe Calderon Hinojosa as President of the Republic, the 1st of December.

Translator's Note:
The Toma de Protesta is a ceremonial event spelled out in the Mexican Constitution as part of the transition into office of a new President-Elect in which the incoming President presents himself before the lower chamber of the Mexican Congress to "Take Protest" from the legislators in order to show his willingness to defend the Constitution.

There is a video of this on AP Video.
Univision covered this on their 5:30 p.m. (Central) news broadcast, there's an update coming at 10:30 p.m. (about 11 minutes as I write) that I don't want to miss. It was the first item up at 5:30.
Post updates!
Ramon Pacheco..ha.
Maybe it was just the coke can seen in the "A PAN legislator throws a refreshment can" photo that exploded. LOL.
Great report - thanks
"It's worth remembering that the good guys won today's round."
Define "good guys" here. There's just "bad" and "slightly worse".
And it's merely Tuesday. Some of those pictures suggest to me that folks are just warming up :-(
It's getting headlines press in Leftie newspapers internationally, to egg 'em on of course:

Wow.
I concur. But "let all the poisons which lurk in the mud -- hatchout" so we may all see these. Socialism/Communism is the psychologic equivalent of Avian Flu; highly contagious due its adolescent siren mentality; fostered by such thoughts as "Everything I know, I learned in Kindergarten".
It appeals predominantly to the over and under educated.
I believe they knew this a long time ago, but are playing it out until the inevitable wind-down to (A) get their agenda in the press, (B), make the work of government as difficult as possible and (C), hopefully get a few martyrs for real demonstrations!
As if running Mexico weren't difficult enough!
