Mexico: Activists stage protest march in downtown Mexico City Dec. 11

Around 3,000 members of the National Assembly of Electric Energy Users (Asamblea Nacional de Usuarios de la Energia Electrica, ANUEE) are marching in central Mexico City as of the morning of Dec. 11 to demand several electricity-related concessions, including that electric energy be nationalized and electricity bill debt be cleared. Protesters initially gathered at the intersection between Calle Quintana Roo and Avenida Insurgentes Sur near the Chilpancingo metro station before marching along Avenida Insurgentes Sur toward the Ministry of Energy.

Although the action has remained largely peaceful, authorities will probably maintain an increased security presence near the march as a precaution. Transport and business disruptions will likely be along the march route for the duration of the demonstration.
