        Hundreds of thousands of people marched in Mexico’s capital Sunday in a show of support for President Manuel Lopez Obrador, who before assuming the presidency had led some of the country’s biggest protests.
        
        The "people’s march" marked four years in office for the leftist leader and was a response to a large opposition march two weeks ago to protest Lopez Obrador’s proposal to reform the country’s electoral authority.
        
        The president himself led Sunday’s march through central Mexico City, which was accompanied by mariachi music, singing and a festive atmosphere. Many participants had been bused in from provinces across Mexico in trips organized by the ruling Morena party, unions and social groups.
