Hundreds of citizens marched this Sunday in the city of Montereyin the northern Mexican state of Nuevo León, to demand the resignation of the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
In the mobilization, organized by the National Citizen Front (Frena), some 250 people participated, according to Civil Protection authorities, who gathered at the intersection of May 15 and Zaragoza to later begin a tour of the first square of the state capital.

Leading the contingent was the founder of Frena, Gilberto Lozano, who accused López Obrador of leading a dictatorship and of being responsible for all the ills of Mexican citizens.
“We are doing this in 70 cities (in Mexico) and above all emphasizing that the cause of all evils is the López dictatorship, the INE is going to ‘eat’ it without constitutional reform because it already has the change of four councilors , it is choking them economically and with secondary laws it will end up taking it”, mentioned the activist.
The demonstrators armed themselves with tricolor flags and also those of their movement. The contingent was led by a truck from where, through a sound, they shouted slogans against the head of the federal executive.
On a banner could be read: “Andrés Manuel López: We demand your resignation for treason.”
Lozano criticized the insecurity that prevails in Mexico and the policy against the Mexican drug trafficker of “hugs, not bullets.”
“The post of president can be resigned, yes for serious reasons, and we can see it in the Constitution, and treason,” he commented.
He assured that López Obrador has betrayed the country above other interests.
“The indiscriminate migration into Mexico, the support without approval from the Congress of the Union to deliver money to Central and South American countries and the issue of hugs (to criminals) is not mentioned, which is completely unconstitutional,” he said.
He added that currently what is seen in the country is “complicity” with organized crime and growing violence in the country.
“We bring a country out of control, which is what is best for a dictatorship, because as they say: “a troubled river, fishermen gain,” he commented.
The contingent was escorted by elements of Monterrey Transit, Civil Force and Civil Protection.
The march was accompanied by a war band that was in charge of entertaining the contingent.
The mobilization coincided with some pilgrimages that went to the Basilica of Guadalupe, located in the Independencia neighborhood, in Monterrey.
