Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto is notorious for avoiding meetings with protesters.
It took him an entire year to finally meet with the parents of the 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers’ College who went missing in September 2014. Peña Nieto also cancelled talks with leaders of National Coordination of Education Workers, CNTE, which led massive protests last year against government education cuts.
