Overview
- The youth collective Generación Z México has called for a November 15 march from the Ángel de la Independencia to the Zócalo to protest corruption, using One Piece imagery to rally participants.
- In a morning briefing, President Claudia Sheinbaum said the mobilization is not a genuine youth protest, alleging involvement by conservative-linked groups and naming Mexicanos por la Corrupción.
- Sheinbaum said authorities are examining social-media accounts and economic flows tied to the promotion, asserting that large sums are being used to manufacture trends and spread falsehoods.
- Generación Z México announced an additional demonstration for November 8 to denounce insecurity, said attempts were made to take down its X account, and rejected claims it is running a paid marketing campaign.
- The government’s scrutiny comes after unrest in Morelia following the assassination of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo, where hooded individuals stormed the state government palace, journalists were injured, and arrests were reported, with Sheinbaum urging against politicizing the tragedy.
