Overview
- Demonstrations under the Generación Z banner were held in Mexico City and more than 50 cities nationwide, with the capital’s march departing the Ángel de la Independencia around 11:00 and arriving at the Zócalo near 13:00.
- Authorities preinstalled nearly three‑meter metal fences around the National Palace and closed or limited access to parts of Reforma, Juárez, Eje Central and 5 de Mayo, while Metro stations Zócalo/Tenochtitlan, Allende and Bellas Artes, among others, were shut.
- Upon reaching the Zócalo, some groups tried to dismantle the barriers protecting the National Palace, hurling explosive devices and tools, and police pushed them back, with reports of extinguishers used to disperse them.
- Organizers released and delivered a 12‑point petition calling for a citizen‑triggered revocation mechanism, independent transparency and audit bodies, a deep justice reform, improved representation in Congress, and demilitarization of internal security.
- Turnout varied by city, with thousands reported in parts of Veracruz and smaller groups elsewhere such as Chihuahua and Nogales, while President Claudia Sheinbaum questioned the movement’s spontaneity and alleged opposition involvement.
