Opposition lawmakers bar Fox speech at Mexican Congress
Left leaning PRD lawmakers briefly seized the Mexican Congress on Friday night denying President Vicente Fox a chance to deliver his state of the nation address. The group chanted for a vote by vote booth by booth and pressed for a nationwide recount while authorities fortified the area. Fox later spoke from the hallway outside the chamber and condemned the action as undemocratic. Calderon, Fox's rival, kept a low profile as the electoral tribunal prepares to certify the tally in a razor thin margin of 0.58 percent amid fraud claims turned down by the tribunal.
