MEXICO CITY — President Felipe Calderon is receiving anti-crime proposals from civic leaders who drew more than 100,000 Mexicans to the streets to protest daily killings, abductions and shootouts.
The 14 civic groups say they are trying to keep pressure on Calderon to show results two years after taking office and promising an aggressive battle against drug traffickers and other criminal gangs.
The civic groups said they would give Calderon 10 proposals for fighting crime on Sunday but declined to give details. They also planned to meet with Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard.
More than 100,000 white-clad Mexicans marched in cities across the country Saturday night in an outpouring of anger with the country’s soaring crime rate.
