Former presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (L of flag in black) of the PRD (Party of the Democratic Revolution) and his supporters march near Congress in Mexico City October 28, 2008. Leftist deputies stormed the podium of Mexico's lower house of Congress on Tuesday to protest energy reforms but failed to derail voting on an overhaul of the slumping energy industry. Some two dozen lawmakers occupied the podium waving Mexican flags just before the start of a debate and vote on a seven-bill energy reform package backed by conservative President Felipe Calderon. The signs read "'PEMEX (Mexico’s national oil monopoly) does not privatize". REUTERS/Jorge Dan Lopez (MEXICO)
