Mexico City Issues Alerts for Two Days of Protests and Concentrations

Officials say scheduled marches, animal‑welfare actions and delivery‑worker demonstrations risk blocking key routes and complicating travel during large events.

Overview

  • The city’s Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana published mobilization agendas covering November 12 and November 13 that list multiple marches, six to eight concentrations, rides and scheduled meetings and warn of traffic disruptions.
  • A motorists’ march organized by Mottu México was set to leave Iztacalco for the Zócalo at 10:00 on Thursday, November 12 to protest alleged unjust towing, excessive charges and irregularities by transit authorities and private tow operators.
  • Animal‑rights groups planned actions tied to the Refugio Franciscano dispute, including attendance at a 09:30 hearing on November 12 about suspected dog poisonings and protests against a judicial inspection request at the shelter.
  • Search collectives such as Luciérnagas Buscadoras coordinated early departures on November 12 for search operations near Huitzilac, and on November 13 delivery workers organized by Repartidores Unidos de México planned an 11:00 concentration opposing new motorcycle‑delivery rules and a proposed 2% infrastructure fee.
  • Authorities warned the public to expect disruptions on major corridors — routes to the Zócalo, the México–Toluca toll booth and Reforma — and noted overlapping concerts and mass events that could amplify congestion and delay commuters.
