"But this year, as the tourism that Oaxaca de Juarez lives on has waned, downtown business owners and workers have grown more agitated. They are particularly peeved that the protest forced the cancellation of Oaxaca's popular Guelaguetza cultural festival"

You are quoting the washington post... about the concerns of business owners and workers..... but, this little quote does not mention the people of Oaxaca boycotted URO's capitalist Guelaguetza and organized la Guelaguetza popular. The Guelaguetza was held. People got together to eat, talk, dance and share. This year the Guelaguetza was organized by the people, for the people, not to rake in lots of money URO.

oaxaca vive! la lucha sigue! ni un paso atras!
