June 18th in Mexico City was more an informative manifestation
than a
riot
not so much people attending but a very conscientious group of
people
from
groups like JAR (Juventud Antiautoritaria Revolucionaria) UPL
(Union
Punk Libertaria) RIVAL (Red de Información de Voces Autónomas
Libertarias)
MVC (Mejor Vida Corp.) and some other people attended the offices
of the
World Bank, there was an important security display: agents,
patrols,
cops, with a clear attitude to provoke the manifestors.
A play was represented.

Some of the banners displayed had slogans like:

BANCO MUNDIAL = MAFIA CRIMINAL
PUEBLO ENDEUDADO = PAIS CONTROLADO
SI QUEREMOS EL CAMBIO LEVANTEMONOS Y RESISTAMOS, LA BATALLA
CONTINUA

After the World Bank manifestors went to the BMV (Bolsa Mexicana
de
Valores)
where there was also a special security display, thousands of
leaflets
were
distributed to people passing by and inside banks.

From there manifestors went to the nearest subway station
"Insurgentes"
followed by patrols and cops riding horses, on the streets (very
commercial
area almost every store had a cop in front of it. Some bystanders
joined
the march.

Manifestors represented again a play on a street theatre.


Best,

MVC
