A masked member of an electricians' union takes part in a protest against the closure of Luz y Fuerza del Centro (Central Light and Power Company) around the Interior Minister's headquarters in Mexico City October 11, 2009. The Mexican government announced the closure of the inefficient state-owned company that supplies electricity to Mexico City and its surrounding area on Sunday, a move that could trigger labor strife. Preparing for trouble, riot police occupied installations of LFC on Saturday night ahead of a decree ordering its absorption by the Federal Electricity Commission, Mexico's main state power utility.
