#YoSoy132's speach in front of Televisa's facilities. 'Peaceful occupation of Televisa'
#YoSoy132's Manifest to the people of Mexico,
When we arrived there was the world, and we were already a nation in hunger and centuries of oppression. We were a gathering of unrest, we were electoral frauds with no revolution, we were Chiapas and 500 years with no name raising their arms, we were Aguas Blancas and the people lying in the ground, massacred, we were crisis and the debt of others, we were strikes, flattened barricades, Atenco and Oaxaca, raped and murdered women, victims of acts of repression. We were the work of slaves, migrant families, bodies hanging from bridges, martyrs (victims) of state-driven terrorism, exchange currency for a political campaign, murder as free market.
We were not sought after but were the unavoidable consequence of a past and present plagued by imposed certainties.
We are not who we have been. We are the result of death and indignation.
We assume the dignity of the defamed and his/her struggle as our own. We stated we were not just a number and that our numbers would never again be quiet servants of polls and statistics.

#MegamarchaMundial Video evidence of Mexicans protesting in 51 cities
Published on Jul 24, 2012 by Frank S pacocjc
The video above gives a general overview of the second 'Megamarch' that took place on Sunday the 22nd of July agains the imposition of the PRI party candidate Enrique Peña Nieto. The video displays 'only' 51 cities as these where the ones sent to the original uploader's email. It is important to state that the protests took place in more than a hundred cities.
Mexicans marched peacefully all across the country and in various cities around the world. All of these has NOT BEEN THOROUGHLY COVERED by the mainstream mexican media.
In general, the demonstrations took place in peace. However, there were acts of oppression in the cities of León and Oaxaca, where police arrested several protester under vague charges.

So what happened in Atenco? (Part 2)
La Jornada: Adolfo Gilly
Enrique Peña Nieto arrived well prepared, not anticipating any problems, at a meeting with students at the Ibero [Iberamerican University] on Friday, May 11. Students, women and men, posed questions--among others, what had happened in Atenco six years earlier.
The candidate gave an administrative response, which satisfied no one. Perhaps he might have been home free if, before leaving, it had not occurred to him to take the microphone again and, in the manner of the Holy Pope, to declare loudly:
"I assume full responsibility for what happened in Atenco. Those responsible were brought before the judiciary, but, I repeat: it was an action based on the legitimate right of the Mexican State to use the police to restore order and peace".
It was a bad hour, Black Friday. All hell broke loose. Students shouted repeatedly, "Atenco is not forgotten! Atenco is not forgotten!"
The candidate lost his composure. Pursued by the voices of young people, he took refuge in the bathrooms, which for sheer bad luck, happened to be the women's bathrooms. The cameras recorded his bewildered expression and similar expressions on the faces of those who accompanied him. He finally managed to get down the stairs amid shouts of: "Out! Out! Get out!"
Thus was born the unexpected, brash, hard-to-get-a-handle-on student movement that has now spread to [students in nearly a hundred public and private universities]. First, it was the 131 [students] from the Ibero that gave a face [to the movement] by displaying their student IDs on YouTube. With this act they challenged those who had in mind, perhaps as [happened at] Atenco, to find the guilty [ones] in order to apply to them "the legitimate use of public force". After that, attracted by this gesture of defiance, a torrent of [other students] came together to declare--each one and all together--"#YoSoy132".

The “Yo Soy 132” Student Movement Says Elections Was Filled with Irregularities
Published at 5:04 pm EST, July 6, 2012
Mexico’s “Yo soy 132” student movement unveiled a summary of the
report it will present to authorities on the July 1 general elections,
saying it documents more than 1,000 irregularities.
“This report presents enough irregularities to say this wasn’t a
democratic process,” Luis Cotier, one of the members of the movement
launched in May, said in a press conference Thursday.
The students allege that election day did not unfold in an atmosphere
of peace and legality and was marred by “profoundly undemocratic”
practices such as vote buying and coercion and media manipulation that
“altered the essence of free, informed, reasoned and critical voting,”
Cotier said.
Through Tuesday, when the “Yo soy 132” (I Am 132) movement stopped
receiving complaints due to high volume, it had collected more than
1,100 reports deemed sufficiently reliable to be considered evidence of
electoral fraud.
Of them, 96 percent were crimes committed by members of the
Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, while officials at polling
stations or some local community power broker were responsible for the
others, it said.
The PRI returned to power in Sunday’s presidential election after a
12-year absence with Enrique Peña Nieto as its standard-bearer.
Photo essay: Yo Soy 132 in New York City
July 3, 2012
On
the late afternoon of Saturday, June 30, scores of members of the
Mexican community of greater New York City gathered in Manhattan’s Union
Square and cast their ballots in a “voto simbólico”—a symbolic vote—for
the country’s president. Organized by the New York City area cell of
the highly creative and dynamic student-led movement in Mexico, #Yo Soy 132—which some have characterized as the “Mexican Spring”—it, too, aims for
the democratization of the country’s political system and the media.
Among those who cast ballots in Union Square, there was overwhelming
support for Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), the candidate of the
Center-Left. So no doubt the members of Yo Soy 132 NY are disappointed
with what appear to be
the results of the presidential election. (It took place the following
day, July 1, in Mexico.) Regardless of the outcome, the work of Yo Soy 132 NY illustrates
the dynamic nature of the U.S.-Mexico border region, while serving as a
manifestation of the ongoing struggle to define it.
