June 2012: Student Protests in Mexico Tens of thousands of students, angry at Mexico’s entrenched political powers, have taken to the streets in the last month, spreading their message with viral videos and organizing themselves using a Twitter hashtag:#yosoy132. On Sunday, more protests popped up around the country as the presidential candidates gathered in Guadalajara for the second and last scheduled debate before the election on July 1. The debate, which was covered by my colleague Randal C. Archibold, was televised on all of Mexico’s major networks, in part, to meet a demand the students made.
