Protesters egg, topple Fox statue
From Times Wire Reports
Opposition protesters egged and then tore down a bronze statue of former Mexican President Vicente Fox just hours after it was erected.
Workers put up the commemorative statue before dawn in the city of Boca del Rio, in Veracruz state.
But about 100 protesters surrounded the figure about 9 a.m. The crowd launched eggs at the statue, fastened a rope around its neck and pulled it to the ground.
