It would appear a number of Mexico City PRD legislators have publicly announced they will accept President- elect Calderón when he is appointed Dec 1.

A spokeswoman for leftist legislators from Mexico City said Wednesday they would recognize conservative Felipe Calderon as president-elect, despite orders to shun him as part of protests over the July 2 election their party claims was fraudulent.
Nancy Cardenas said she was making the statement on behalf of the dominant 34-member delegation of the Democratic Revolution Party in the legislature representing the capital — a stronghold of party ex-presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

still have to take precautions in Mexico City for the usual security issues - pirate taxis, thefts, dangerous areas (especially at night,) etc. of course, but it may be a harbinger of a reduction of some of the other tensions brought about by the AMLO-PRD standoff. And do expect demonstrations, possibly massive ones, December 1 downtown Mexico City.
In Oaxaca, however, tensions seem to be deepening and things may get decidedly worse. I would strongly suggest avoiding the city of Oaxaca until the strife there is over; if the army or Federal police are sent to break the barricades, there may be considerable violence.
