Overview

• City workers removed the metal tapiales around the antimonument on the morning of September 5, according to images shared from Paseo de la Reforma.
• Officials said the removal was temporary to allow cleaning tied to an event at the nearby Joven de Amajac for the Day of the Indigenous Woman, and the barriers were put back the same day.
• Collectives managing the space said they met with authorities on September 4 and received assurances that the structures would not be touched.
• Activists alerted the Mexico City Human Rights Commission, which was present during the afternoon reinstallation.
• The barriers carry names of disappeared women and victims of violence, and some organizers rejected the government’s explanation of an ‘error’ involving the Amajac site.
