Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum presided over the Grito de Independencia from the central balcony of Palacio Nacional on Tuesday, ringing the Campana de Dolores, waving the flag and delivering the presidential protocol.
- Sheinbaum revised the traditional arengas by naming Guadalupe Victoria and Antonia Nava and by explicitly invoking pueblos indígenas, afromexicanos and migrants in the list of ‘vivas.’
- The Sistema Público de Radiodifusión ran a public broadcast that began at 20:00 and linked to the Palacio Nacional ceremony around 22:50–23:00, carrying the music program before and after the protocol.
- Authorities reported roughly 180,000–200,000 people in the Zócalo, an expanded security and mobility operation including street closures and more than 13,000 police across the city, and extended Metro hours to manage the crowd.
- A large cultural program framed the night — including performances by Intocable and winners of México Canta that paused for the Grito then resumed for fireworks — and the presidency released images from inside Palacio Nacional that emphasize the ceremony’s symbolic aims.
