New president

Today a new president was installed in Mexico. For the past six years Vicente Fox has been the president and today Felipe Calderón was installed as president for the next six years. When a new president takes office every six years on December 1st, it is a national holiday. There have been major arguments and physical fights over the installment of this president. Official tallies indicated Felipe Calderón as the victor after the July 2 election, but due to ballots being found in two garbage dumps his opponent Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador rejected Calderón as the winner. To make a several months long story short, in September Mexico's special electoral court unanimously declared Felipe Calderón president-elect of Mexico. Obrador then said he would create an "alternate government," and called Calderón an "illegitimate president." And this is what all of the fighting has been about. But despite all of the protests Felipe Calderón took his oath of office with the support of the outgoing president Fox.
