Overview
- The main marches began Friday with STUNAM departing the Hemiciclo a Juárez at 15:30 and Comité 68 leaving Plaza de las Tres Culturas at 16:00 for the Zócalo via Ricardo Flores Magón, Eje Central and 5 de Mayo.
- Authorities estimated several thousand participants and put traffic controls in place across the historic center, with progressive lane closures and recommended detours on Manuel González, José María Izazaga, Dr. Río de la Loza, Chapultepec and Insurgentes.
- Metrobús warned that lines 1, 3, 4 and 7 could see service modifications and the Metro said some stations near the route — including Tlatelolco and Zócalo/Tenochtitlan — may face temporary access restrictions and extra security checks.
- Comité 68’s public bulletin bundles demands such as reactivating penal actions for 1968-era crimes, challenging CNDH conclusions on Ayotzinapa, defending students and unions, and solidarity with the Mazateca plantón, and it asks for a march without police presence.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum reiterated ‘2 de octubre no se olvida’ and recalled the 2024 federal recognition of state responsibility, a backdrop that could keep pressure on justice and monitoring of transit and public-safety measures through the evening.
