The Tlatelolco massacre, also known as The Night of Tlatelolco (from a book title by the Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska), was a government massacre of student and civilian protesters and bystanders that took place during the afternoon and night of October 2, 1968, in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas in the Tlatelolcosection of Mexico City. The violence occurred ten days before the 1968 Summer Olympics celebrations in Mexico City. YoSoy132 (I Am 132) is a Mexican protest movement led by college students against the former long-time ruling party PRI and their presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto. Another main target is the Mexican media and their alleged biased coverage of the 2012 Mexican general election, where Peña Nieto is a favorite to become the new president.[1] The protest movement uses the slogan “YoSoy132” - I am 132, originating in an expression of solidarity with the protest’s initiators. It draws inspiration from the occupy movement and its slogan “We are the 99%”. The protest movement has been described as the “Mexican spring” in local media.[2] Its influences can be traced back to the 2011 Egyptian revolution.WIKIPEDIA          06 / 2012
