Mexicans in biggest protest yet over missing students

Not sure if this news is related to my career, but it certainly is a story that has social relevance, about a shocking fact: the disappearance and probable murder of 43 students in Mexico

Yesterday, a day of demonstrations were held in several states by 43 youths missing. In Chiapas and in the capital happened most rebellious protest.  In this context, from the government, president of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, condemned "violence from any source"

The national march was called by relatives and activists held in over 30 cities in Mexico and the world. Universities located in the capital suspended classes in most schools. Unions such as electricians, university and telephone operators join the marches.

In Mexico City three gears that have started in different places were called, led all caravans organized by the parents of the missing. The caravans were touring the country over the course of the last week and joined in the Zocalo

Concentrations are mostly without incident, although Mexico City and Chiapas some violent incidents were reported by the launches of homemade clashes between protesters and police bomb. On complaining the government canceled the military parade is held every year on the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution.


The march culminated in the Zocalo. There, on the stage, family members and fellow students at the School of Ayotzinapa addressed the crowd.
