PANIC SCENARIO IN THE STATE OF MEXICO

Psycotic frenzy invaded Ciudad Neza streets and their people when transportation workers for the Citizen Movement confronted others with the PRI ‘Antorcha Popular’ organization (People’s Torch). The aftermath left a dead person and dozens of wounded and many schools of the vicinity decided to suspend activities.

But this last Thursday there rumors of vandalism and violence, as organized crime threats which scared many store owners who decided to close, making others do the same. Streets were empty and people were really paranoid and scared for Torch people or afraith of being hit by another riot, although there were no more incidents so far.

500 policemen got to the State of Mexico just to sort things out and leting people breathe.
