Thousands of people marched in Mexico City last night to protest against President Enrique Pena Nieto as polls showed the Mexican leader at his lowest approval level on the second anniversary of his inauguration.
Demonstrators marched from the capital’s central square, or Zocalo, to the Angel of Independence monument on the Paseo de la Reforma boulevard. Some called for the resignation of the 48-year-old leader, whose popularity has fallen after an apparent mass murder of college students, sluggish economic growth and a scandal involving his wife’s ties to a government contractor.
