An Additional Opponent: The Students
#I am 132 Movement
The social movement Yo Soy #132 was created by students from many
universities in Mexico as a response to the voiceless promises of all the candidates and
the specifically against the campaign of Enrique Peña Nieto.
The movement has had an active participation before the Elections and managed to
organize a debate among the candidates. Peña Nieto did not attend this debate.
The movement aims to “awake” the people towards an actual change, to reject a world
where a few ones win and the majority loses, and to realize that the oppressive
structures are trembling because the change is near. After the elections, the movement
did reject the electoral official results.
