Caravan protest against Mexico president

Demonstrators travelling in vehicles as part of a 'caravan' protested on Sunday in Mexico City against the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

At the centre of the discontent is lack of security and the economic devastation worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, which is pushing more Mexicans into poverty.

Thousands of vehicles beeped their horns as they drove down Reforma Avenue to the centre of the city demanding Obrador's resignation.

Demonstrators coordinated the protest through social media networks and have dubbed themselves: "FRENA" or National Front Against AMLO.

The demonstrators also called for better security in the country, saying they weren't feel safe when going out.

They also said the economy was suffering following three months of stay at home measures implemented by the government because of the COVID-19 outbreak.

More than 212,000 people have tested positive for the virus in Mexico with at least 26,000 deaths, according to government figures.
