'Yo Soy 132' Protestors Blockade Mexico's Biggest TV Station
July 27, 2012 from LinkTV News
Thousands of protestors blocked the entrance to the studios of Mexico's most popular TV network on Thursday, accusing it of bias during the recent presidential election. Shouting "Tell the truth," the Yo Soy 132 demonstrators stopped employees entering the offices of the Televisa studios in Mexico City. The protestors allege Televisa supported Enrique Peña Nieto, who won the election by almost seven percentage points over leftist Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The protestors promised to continue the blockade for 24 hours. López Obrador has claimed Peña Nieto paid Televisa for favorable coverage and bought votes, and has filed a legal challenge to the election result. Footage courtesy of Reuters.
