- Authorities reported assaults on 84 police officers and four demonstrators and are reviewing video to assign responsibility, while the city’s police opened 18 internal probes into possible excessive force, suspending several officers.
- Sheinbaum displayed video of masked groups using tools to tear down barriers and insisted they are not linked to Morena, framing the violence as an attempt to provoke a narrative of repression.
- The president alleged the mobilization was promoted and financed by opposition figures and a businessman, citing about 90 million pesos and foreign-linked accounts, as Morena leaders publicly named Claudio X. González, Mauricio Tabe and Roberto Madrazo.
- Organizers announced a new march for Nov. 20 from the Ángel de la Independencia to the Zócalo at 11 a.m., and Sheinbaum confirmed the military parade will proceed at 9 a.m. with a call for restraint and respect.
