Valladolid taxi protest

The lack of placards and the bunting suggested to me at first that this was some form of annual taxi driver's festival. But no, this was part of a sustained protest occupying the city centre of Valladolid, a protest against the further Uber-ification in Mexico, a country where taxi transport already seems ridiculously cheap with fares rarely over £3.
