Gen Z Marches Begin Across Mexico Today as CDMX Fortifies Zócalo

Government scrutiny collides with a nonpartisan message from organizers.

Overview

  • In Mexico City, protesters plan to depart from the Ángel de la Independencia at 11:00 for the Zócalo under a police operation and perimeter barriers.
  • Organizers list roughly 50–52 cities with simultaneous marches, using social platforms to coordinate times and routes.
  • The collective presents itself as leaderless and nonpartisan and has popularized the One Piece “straw hat” flag as its emblem.
  • The Presidency and Morena question the call’s authenticity and cite coordinated online amplification, while PAN figures urge authorities not to criminalize youth.
  • Participants say they seek justice and stronger security after the assassination of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo, with some groups warning about possible infiltrators.
