Thousands of students and young people took to the streets this past Wednesday in Tijuana in protest of widely documented electoral fraud in Mexico’s presidential election. The march ended at the Monument to Cuauhtemoc (seen above).

Cuauhtemoc, the Tlatoani, literally meaning “Speaker,” of Mexico Tenochtitlan at the time of the Spanish Invasion between 1520 to 1521. Known as the “Young Elder,” Cuauhtemoc remains one of Mexico’s most patriotic symbols.
