Mexico City Congress to Install Special Commission on Gen‑Z March Violence This Week

The move follows an approved call for a probe into the Nov. 15 Zócalo unrest, setting up a report to the full chamber.

Overview

  • Morena floor leader Xóchitl Bravo said the panel will begin work this week to scrutinize the Nov. 15 events and pursue the case to its conclusions.
  • The commission will include all parliamentary groups, operate on a temporary basis, and prepare findings for presentation to the plenary.
  • Through internal congressional mechanisms, the body can summon public servants connected to the investigation.
  • A previously approved point of agreement urged mayors Alessandra Rojo de la Vega and Mauricio Tabe to request leave during the probe, following a heated budget meeting with Rojo de la Vega and a session with Tabe scheduled for Wednesday.
  • Separately, a judge linked five additional detainees to proceedings tied to the march violence, with one held in pretrial detention on charges that include injuries and theft of police radios.
