Proteste in Mexiko gegen Enrique Peña Nieto

Thousands protest against result of Mexican election

Mexicans take to the streets to protest against the result of last Sunday's presidential vote. They accuse the winner of widespread vote-buying but the result is not expected to be overturned. 

Tens of thousands of people marched through Mexico City on Saturday to protest against the result of last Sunday's presidential election.

The demonstrators, who included trade union activists, leftists, students  and anarchists, accuse the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) of Enrique Pena Nieto, who won the election, of widespread vote-buying.

“Out Pena, Mexico without the PRI,” the protesters changed as the crowd marched down a main boulevard to Zocalo square in the center of the capital.

Municipal officials estimated the number of participants at 50,000.
