Generación Z Plans Nationwide Marches for Security on Nov. 15

The government’s scrutiny of online organizing has turned the youth-led call for security into a test of trust.

Overview

  • Demonstrations are scheduled in roughly 50 to 52 cities, with the main Mexico City march set to depart the Ángel de la Independencia at 11:00 a.m. toward the Zócalo.
  • Mexico City authorities have announced surveillance operations, traffic closures and protective metal barricades around the National Palace.
  • Organizers describe the effort as leaderless and nonpartisan, coordinated on social media and marked by the One Piece straw-hat flag.
  • The assassination of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo intensified the call to protest, and some online posts now press for a presidential recall.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum and Morena question the movement’s authenticity and allege partisan co‑optation, while PAN lawmakers denounce the “criminalization” of youth and some groups warn about possible infiltrators.
