Mexico celebrating 204 years of independence

  • 10 years ago
Today marks the 204th anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spanish colonial rule. Hundreds of thousands will participate in activities marking the "Cry of Dolores", the opening shot in the independence struggle. Meanwhile, social organizations will be taking advantage of the date to call their own demonstrations, opposing the government's neoliberal policies. Clayton Conn reports from Mexico City. teleSUR
