Overview
- In Mexico City, protesters convened at the Ángel de la Independencia at 10:00 and began at 11:00 toward the Zócalo via Paseo de la Reforma, Avenida Juárez, Eje Central and 5 de Mayo.
- City authorities erected metal barriers up to three meters around Palacio Nacional and key sites and announced street and transit closures, including partial shutdowns at Zócalo/Tenochtitlán, Bellas Artes, Allende and Hidalgo, with alternative routes via Circuito Interior, Chapultepec, Eje 1 Norte and Eje 1 Oriente.
- The federal government and Infodemia publicized a 47‑page report alleging coordinated digital promotion with bot activity, foreign interactions and paid advertising; President Claudia Sheinbaum questioned the march’s spontaneity but affirmed the right to peaceful protest.
- Organizers circulated a 12‑point petition seeking a citizen revocation mechanism, direct election of replacements, demilitarization of internal security, and reforms to transparency, auditing and justice bodies, with participants adopting One Piece straw‑hat imagery.
- Actions were planned in more than 50 cities nationwide and in several countries, and early live reports from Mexico City noted sparse crowds at the Zócalo, leaving overall turnout and impact under review.
