Coordinated Protests and Two Large Rodadas Disrupt Mexico City

Officials say scheduled demonstrations targeting embassies, federal offices, university sites are causing lane reductions, point closures and slower commutes.

  • Organizers called actions at key sites including the German Embassy in Polanco at 07:00, the Commission for the Search of Persons in La Doctores at 08:00, UNAM's Okupa Che and the Secretariat of the Navy at 17:00, and the Secretariat of the Interior at 17:30.
