#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.

Protesters manifest during Televisa's coverage of the Olympics

The protest documented in the above video took place as Mexican media company Televisa was doing their coverage of the 2012 London Olympics. This was obviously not broadcasted since the largest mexican TV network is consistently ignoring all public manifestations of unrest related to the Mexican presidential election.

Protests continue after claims TV network was biased and took money for coverage from eventual winner Enrique Peña Nieto

Thousands of protesters have blockaded the studios of Televisa, Mexico's most popular TV network, accusing it of biased coverage of the 1 July presidential election.

Shouting "Tell the truth," the demonstrators, including students and union workers, stopped employees entering the offices of the Televisa studios in Mexico City although they allowed others to leave.

The protesters allege that Televisa supported Enrique Peña Nieto, who won the election by almost 7 percentage points over leftist Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

The protesters promised to continue the blockade for 24 hours.

Televisa, which carried on broadcasting as normal, argues it covered the election fairly and gave time to all candidates on primetime news shows.

Televisa is the world's most popular Spanish language network and sells its soap operas around the globe.

López Obrador has claimed that Peña Nieto paid Televisa for favourable coverage and bought votes. He has filed a legal challenge to the vote with an electoral tribunal, asking it to annul the ballot.

The tribunal has until September to rule on the accusations and officially declare Peña Nieto as president. It is widely expected to uphold the vote.

(Reuters) - Thousands of people marched through Mexico City on Sunday to denounce the July 1 election of Enrique Pena Nieto as president, though the protest was smaller than one held earlier this month.

Pena Nieto's capture of the presidency for the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, has been challenged by his rival, leftist runner-up Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who alleges the PRI resorted to vote-buying and money laundering to win.

Lopez Obrador is seeking to invalidate the PRI victory at the federal electoral tribunal, and the former mayor of Mexico City has pledged to keep the pressure up on Pena Nieto with rallies around the country starting at the end of this month.

On Sunday, student groups dominated the crowd that marched to the capital's main square, chanting slogans like "Pena Out," "Fraud, Fraud" with banners decrying what the protesters called the "imposition" of the PRI candidate on Mexico.

"The people have woken up. The people realize that the PRI violated the elections," said Luis Martinez, a 25-year-old engineering student from Mexico City.

Thousands of protesters march in Mexico City over corrupt elections

By Aaron Solis · July 23, 2012 · No comments

Amid growing controversy over alleged dirty tricks in the July 1 election, demonstrators in the capital marched from the presidential palace, Los Pinos, to the central square in Zócalo as they accused the president-elect of buying his way to victory in the vote. The contest saw Mr Peña Nieto of the centrist Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) beat his nearest rival, leftist Andrés Manuel López Obrador, by a 7 per cent margin.

Mr López Obrador, of the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), has vowed to fight on and has filed a motion with the country’s electoral tribunal to annul the result before December when Mr Peña Nieto is sworn in. He claims to have proof that his rival engaged in vote-buying on a massive scale, exceeded campaign spending limits and used illicit funds.

Last week, the pressure on the PRI intensified as the ruling National Action Party said it would join Mr López Obrador in calling for a criminal investigation.

On Friday, Mr López Obrador outlined a “National Plan for the Defence of Democracy”, calling for a series of mass rallies against the victory of Mr Peña Nieto. The call raised fears of a repeat of the chaos following the 2006 election, when the former Mexico City mayor cried fraud after losing the presidency by less than 1 per cent and mounted weeks of street blockades and protest camps that paralysed much of the capital.

Mr López Obrador tried to ease such concerns, insisting all actions would remain peaceful. He urged supporters not to “fall into the trap of provocation and violence”.

Yesterday’s march was not led by the leftist candidate but aligned movements that have sprung up against Mr Peña Nieto and the PRI in what has been dubbed the “Mexican Spring”.

Mexican leftist rules out protest camps, blockades

The Associated PressSunday, July 22, 2012 | 3:07 a.m.

Mexico's leftist presidential candidate said Friday he will lead a national campaign to annul the results of the July 1 elections, but ruled out street blockades and protest camps like the ones his supporters used to protest his loss in 2006.

Leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who ran second in the July 1 elections, said he will hold mass rallies and pursue legal challenges up to the Sept. 6 deadline for electoral courts to rule on the validity of the results.

He claims the winner, Enrique Pena Nieto of the old ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, engaged in massive vote-buying and campaign overspending. Pena Nieto's party has denied those allegations and said Lopez Obrador simply refuses to accept his defeat.

In 2006, Lopez Obrador lost the presidency by a much smaller margin, and led weeks of street blockades in Mexico City to protest what he claimed had been vote fraud.

But this year, Lopez Obrador said, "the circumstances are different."

He said that, at least until the electoral court rules, his self-described "National Plan to Protect Democracy and Mexico's Dignity" will hold rallies on July 29 and August 5, and artistic events.

"We are going to use peaceful methods," Lopez Obrador said. "Our adversaries would like us to fall into the trap of provocation and violence, but they are not going to get their wish."

"We do not want to give the violent ones a pretext to call us violent."

Obrador says the country's electoral watchdog agency has taken the side of Pena Nieto, who won the race according to official vote counts.

Lopez Obrador said Friday the country's Federal Electoral Institute "is turning a blind eye" to alleged campaign overspending and vote-buying by Pena Nieto.

The institute's president said his agency's investigative team has until January to finish its probe, by which time Pena Nieto would already have been sworn into office.

Lopez Obrador called that "ridiculous" and demanded the investigation be finished before Pena Nieto is officially recognized as the winner.

Des manifestations se succèdent au Mexique pour dénoncer la fraude électorale qui aurait mené Enrique Peña Nieto au pouvoir

Cette femme est membre du mouvement Yo Soy132 (« Je suis le 132e »). Elle a manifesté ce dimanche à Mexico, pour dénoncer la fraude électorale qui aurait été orchestrée par le Parti Révolutionnaire (PRI) du président Enrique Peña Nieto, lors du scrutin du 1er juillet dernier. Enrique Peña Nieto a été déclaré vainqueur de l’élection avec 38,21 % de voix contre son rival Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador (31,59%), mais les manifestants l'accusent d’avoir acheté des millions de votes. Après des recomptes citoyens effectués par le site "YoSoy AntiFraude" ("je suis anti-fraude"), les résultats auraient été intervertis. La protestation prend de l'ampleur au Mexique et en dehors du pays.
