A supporter of former presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the PRD (Party of the Democratic Revolution), is helped by a paramedic after clashing with riot police on Reforma avenue in Mexico City October 23, 2008. Mexico's Senate this week is set to approve a package of energy reform bills that should help overhaul the creaking state-run oil industry but are not expected to reverse the trend of falling output quickly. The vote comes more than six months after Prescient Felipe Calderon proposed a series of reforms designed to bring private expertise into the industry and grant state oil company Pemex more autonomy from the government bureaucracy.
