Generación Z March Heads to Zócalo as Mexico City Locks Down Historic Core

Officials question the march’s independence following a security buildup downtown.

Overview

  • The demonstration begins at 10:00 from the Ángel de la Independencia and is set to advance along Reforma, Juárez, Eje Central and 5 de Mayo to the Zócalo for a public statement.
  • Authorities erected three‑meter metal fencing and concrete barriers around the Zócalo, Palacio Nacional and adjacent streets, with the Zócalo/Tenochtitlán Metro station closed until further notice.
  • The SSC announced closures on Reforma, Juárez, Eje Central and 5 de Mayo and advised alternatives including Circuito Interior, Avenida Chapultepec, Río de la Loza, Eje 1 Norte, Eje 1 Oriente, José María Izazaga and Fray Servando.
  • Officials warned of possible suspensions or adjustments at Metro stations Bellas Artes, Allende and Zócalo/Tenochtitlán and on Metrobús and RTP routes.
  • Organizers expect actions in more than 50 cities and have issued a 12‑point petition on mandate revocation mechanisms and guarantees in security, health and education, while President Claudia Sheinbaum defends the right to protest and says opposition figures amplified the call.
