Mexico’s Protest Clashes Trigger Probes as Argentina’s Reforms Hinge on Governors

City authorities launched internal and criminal investigations into the Mexico City march as Argentina’s government seeks budget-linked deals with provincial leaders to advance labor, tax and penal changes.

Overview

  • Mexico City’s police chief said Internal Affairs is reviewing 18 potential protocol violations from the November 15 march, while the city prosecutor opened 77 cases that include three attempted-homicide charges.
  • Officials reported 60 officers treated on site, 40 taken to hospitals and 14 still hospitalized, as reviews also look at possible excessive force against demonstrators and two complaints tied to assaults on journalists.
  • Mayor Clara Brugada blamed opposition figures and businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego for fomenting violence, as media and columnists pointed to alleged provocateurs such as the so‑called Bloque Negro.
  • In Michoacán, authorities announced removals across Uruapan’s prosecutorial staff and changes in state security after the November 1 killing of Mayor Carlos Manzo, alongside a federal–state plan pending results.
  • In Argentina, Milei’s labor, tax and penal proposals depend on governors trading votes for works and funds in the 2026 Budget, while CGT co-leader Jorge Sola urges prioritizing tax reform and warns labor changes lack consultation.
