Even as the 42-year-old econ omist was taking his oath of of fice, more than 10,000 people shouted slogans against him at a rally protesting his Institu tional Revolutionary Party’s 65- year rule. “Out with Zedillo!” shouted the protesters who jammed the plaza surrounding the Monu ment of the Revolution that commemorates Mexico’s bloody 1910-20 revolution. They raised banners calling for a civil insur gency. Outgoing President Carlos Salinas de Gortari handed over the red, white and green sash of office in a midday ceremony at the Chamber of Deputies. The 1,500 guests included Vice Presi dent A1 Gore and Cuba’s Presi dent Fidel Castro. “Our most important chal lenge is to provide dignified liv ing conditions for every Mexican family,” said Zedillo, whose elec tion capped a year that saw the opening of Mexico’s economy in the North American Free Trade Agreement. He promised better lives for millions of Mexicans who haven’t seen any benefit from the economic changes wrought by Salinas, vowing to use NAF TA “to help generate the jobs we need and raise living stan dards.” The dignitaries were then taken in a caravan of gleaming black limousines to the Nation al Palace, trailing Zedillo’s auto as it was showered by confetti thrown from balconies. “Zedillo! Zedillo!” people shouted. “We think he will be a good president!” said housewife Car men Valencia, 60, a ruling party supporter. “He came from below and understands poverty.” Things were different at the Monument of the Revolution. “Zedillo No! Zedillo No!” shouted the protesters, hun dreds of them supporters of the Zapatista National Liberation Army, a guerrilla force that re belled on Jan. 1 in the impover ished southern state off pas. The crowd grew by the| but police made no movet tervene. Some protesters, mostly(j ers in straw hats, had clubs machetes. Many protesters weresyc thizers of Mexico’s leftist Det ratic Revolution Party, biggest opponent to PRIrule Salinas’ economic policies. Opposition leader Cuati! moc Cardenas, who cams third in the election be! Zedillo, told the crowd then had to strengthen his pat; base while challenging con versial elections. Many Cardenas suppori believe he was cheated)! presidency in 1988, they Salinas was elected, becau;; ruling-party vote fraud. Mexico’s ruling party reca has had to defend itself apa; fraud charges in elections southern Chiapas, Veracruz: Tabasco states. “A triumph there would triumph for democracy throughout the republic,” Cardenas.
