Thousands Reportedly Rally in Mexico Against President, Gas Prices Surge
Thousands took to the streets in Mexico City to protest against the hike in fuel prices and to demand the resignation of President Enrique Pena Nieto, media reported.

The protests that began in early January have led to at least six deaths and hundreds of arrests.
Gas prices went up by about 20 percent starting from January 1 in Mexico. This triggered mass unrest and looting of stores in various states in the country.
The price deregulation was announced on December 27, 2016, and is expected to end the state monopoly in oil production and benefit economy in the long run.
