Mexico City was host to a demonstration Thursday in which protestors called for the resignation of President Enrique Peña Nieto after he met with United States Presidential Candidate Donald Trump.

The hashtag #RenunciaYa (#ResignNow) circulated on Twitter and other social media sites during the week, ultimately resulting in an organized demonstration.

The demonstration reportedly started in the Angel of Independence and is supposed to end in the city of Zocalo.

Executive Director of the National Center for Social Communication Ixchel Cisneros said the mobilization was called by the citizens and civil society associations she represents.

She also said demonstrators want “every citizen to find a reason for why Enrique Peña Nieto must give up the presidency of Mexico. That is why one of the hashtags that are being used is #MotivosSobran (#ThereArePlentyofReasons)”.
