• At a Mexico City rally, a cleric cited official data showing over 133,000 missing people nationwide, up from 100,000 in 2022, and families denounced a lack of political will while seeking justice, reparations and guarantees of non-repetition.
• The Mexico City march moved from the Ángel de la Independencia to the Zócalo, where participants shared testimonies, posted photos of the missing and remembered more than 30 slain search mothers.
• In Jalisco, where nearly 16,000 people are listed as not located, about 1,000 protesters in Guadalajara said investigations show no progress nine months into Governor Pablo Lemus’s administration.
