Overview
- Coordinated demonstrations were held in more than 50 cities on November 15, with the Mexico City march departing the Ángel de la Independencia and heading to the Zócalo.
- Clashes erupted at the Zócalo when masked groups tried to pull down metal barriers around the National Palace, prompting police to deploy crowd-control agents as injuries were reported.
- City authorities had preinstalled tall barricades and warned of road closures and transit impacts, with temporary shutdowns and route changes on Metro and Metrobús services near the center.
- Organizers said they submitted a 12-point petition that includes a citizen recall mechanism, direct selection of substitutes for public offices, and calls for stronger public security.
- The movement blended youth-led and cross‑generational participation, drew symbolism like One Piece flags, and was energized by anger over the killing of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo, even as President Claudia Sheinbaum and allies alleged opposition backing.
