Overview
- At the Nov. 13 presidential briefing, the government’s Infodemia unit presented findings that the youth‑branded mobilization was boosted by a synchronized digital campaign rather than purely organic activity.
- The report cites 179 TikTok accounts and 359 Facebook communities, including 28 pages with foreign administrators, along with use of AI‑generated content and paid advertising.
- Authorities identified opposition figures and influencers as amplifiers of the call, naming Vicente Fox, Claudio X. González, Ricardo Salinas Pliego and Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, as well as PAN and PRI voices.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said official estimates indicate at least 90 million pesos were funneled to bots and fake accounts, while acknowledging that direct financing or command by named figures has not been proven.
- After the Nov. 1 killing of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo, movement messaging shifted from mandate‑revocation themes to a tribute focused on justice and peace, and organizers maintain the Nov. 15 march is apartidista.
