In terms of arrivals by air, Mexico City ranks as the country’s top destination. City officials would like passengers to stay awhile rather than simply change planes. One reason that they do not are that countless protest marches that constantly snarl traffic in the capital. According to the city government’s own statistics, 3,195 demonstrations took place in Mexico City between January and the end of September. Rather than interfere, police usually protect protestors from irate motorists, the argument being that freedom of expression must be protected.
