A supporter of the Mexican Electricians Union is confronted by policemen at the former headquarters of the state-owned Central Light and Power Company located in Mexico City on April 11, 2011. Protesters set fire to at least four vehicles and disrupted traffic. The demonstrators are demanding the reinstatement of the company that supplied electricity to the city and its surrounding areas. It was closed in Oct. 2009.
