Sixty Percent of Mexicans Would Commit Civil Disobedience to Support Left-Leaning Mayor of Mexico City

That's according to polls that show majorities of Mexicans who believe his indictment was politically motivated and not part of a legitimate legal action. Mexico may be a "fragile democracy" as the Christian Science Monitor noted, but the Mexican people seem to have a deeper understanding of democracy than Americans if they are willing to commit civil disobedience. More proof of this: 1.2 Million Mexicans marched in Mexico City to support Mayor Obrador yesterday.
