perceived that the movement favored the leftist candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador. They claimed to have the same goals as the Yo Soy 132 movement of democratization of the media, political reform, environmental protection, and calling politicians' attention to the agenda of Mexican youth. Apart from their single YouTube video ranting against the Yo Soy 132 movement, this alleged group never performed any kind of real political activism. It was later uncovered by social network activists that the generacion mx members were directly linked to Peña Nieto's political party, the PRI, the one Yo Soy 132 was campaigning against. A spokesperson of GenerationMX denied ties with the PRI party and his current employer COPARMEX. The movement has also been opposed on social media by so-called Peñabots - automated accounts used for propaganda purposes.
