Overview
- The Mexico City march moved from the Ángel de la Independencia to the Zócalo before a subset of protesters tried to topple nearly three‑meter barriers around the National Palace.
- Police pushed back using dry chemical from extinguishers and other crowd-control measures as some individuals hurled petards, stones and tools; emergency teams treated injured officers, civilians and journalists.
- Organizers presented a 12‑point petition calling for citizen‑initiated removal of the federal executive, direct popular replacement elections, stronger transparency and auditing bodies, and demilitarized public security.
- Demonstrations were reported in more than 50 cities with widely varying turnout, including thousands in parts of Veracruz and smaller groups in places such as Nogales and Chihuahua.
- Federal officials portrayed the mobilization as opposition‑driven, while participants and organizers described it as nonpartisan and youth‑led, with pop‑culture symbols like the One Piece Jolly Roger on display.
