Oil: Reformed!

Mexico's Senate today approved oil reform legislation. Debate and likely passage awaits in the Chamber of Deputies.

Despite the PRD's acceptance of the legislation, Andrés Manuel López Obrador mobilized a protest that attempted to block entrance into the Senate building. The senators instead met in a building called the Torre del Caballito, where security was handled by the Federal Preventative Police, and overseen personally by Secretary of Public Security Genaro García Luna.
