Protesters from the Yo Soy 132 movement, also dubbed the "Mexican Spring", took to the streets this weekend to protest what they call a corrupt election that resulted in the PRI, Mexico's centrist party, winning control of the government.
At least 32,000 protesters marched through Mexico City chanting slogans like "Pena Out" and "Fraud, Fraud" to contest the election results Sunday, accusing president-elect Enrique Peña Nieto, a member of the PRI, of electoral fraud.
Protesters carried signs reading, "Winning by cheating is not winning at all and is illegal" and "You launder money, we are cleaning our consciences."
