Protest against Pena Nieto, Mexico City

Recorded by Sara Herrera.

"Last year, on the eve of Independence Day celebrations, thousands of people took to the streets of Mexico City to demand the president's resignation. Anger mounted over President Enrique Peña Nieto's handling of drug violence, corruption, his meeting with Donald Trump in Mexican soil, and the disappearance of 43 students from Ayotzinapa in 2014. Protesters gathered peacefully at the Monumento de la Independencia and marched chanting, singing, and ultimately demanding the president’s resignation. It is worth noting that this demonstration was called out by the public through social media (no political parties were involved)."
