Overview
- In Mexico City, protesters gathered at the Ángel de la Independencia and marched along Reforma, Avenida Juárez, Eje Central and 5 de Mayo to the Zócalo.
- The city’s security secretariat announced road closures and detours, while Metro stations Zócalo/Tenochtitlán, Allende and Bellas Artes and some Metrobús routes were temporarily shut or adjusted.
- Organizers circulated a 12-point list of demands that includes a citizen-initiated revocation mechanism, direct elections to fill vacancies, demilitarized public security and stronger transparency and auditing bodies.
- Contingents linked to protests over the assassination of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo joined in the capital, with parallel actions reported in Michoacán and other states.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum questioned who is behind the mobilization as reports noted uneven attendance in various cities; authorities maintained metal barricades around the National Palace and applied a policing protocol to facilitate peaceful protest.
