Sheinbaum Calls Gen Z March Adult-Led, Seeks Probe Into Violent Bloc

Sheinbaum directs a criminal inquiry into suspected agitators behind the weekend clashes.

Overview

  • At her morning briefing, Sheinbaum said most attendees were not Gen Z and accused familiar right-wing figures and a television outlet of promoting the rally.
  • Sheinbaum displayed images, including video of an officer being beaten, reiterated a no-repression stance, and said any police use of force would also be reviewed.
  • Sheinbaum asked the Mexico City prosecutor to investigate who formed the violent group and whether they were paid, while La Jornada reported an investigation file has been opened.
  • Authorities reported 14 police officers remain hospitalized and 26 were discharged after the unrest; CDMX official César Cravioto said about 40 people remain detained.
  • Organizers have called a new march for November 20 at 11 a.m., which Cravioto labeled a provocation given the Revolution Day military parade, as PAN leaders decried alleged repression and demanded probes into police conduct while PRI lawmakers denied organizing the protest.
