Overview
- Mexico City’s police oversight opened 18 internal reviews into possible protocol violations from the Nov. 15 protest operation, while prosecutors reported 77 complaints and charges that include attempted homicide.
- Officials said 60 officers were treated at the scene, 40 were taken to hospitals, and 14 remained hospitalized following the confrontations near the Zócalo.
- Head of government Clara Brugada accused businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego of encouraging the mobilization and violence, and authorities said no tear gas or crowd‑control weapons were used, attributing visible smoke to protesters’ devices and fire extinguishers.
- Commentary and reporting pointed to alleged ‘Bloque Negro’ provocateurs, though responsibility for the violence remains disputed and subject to investigation.
- In Michoacán, two alleged criminals were killed in a security operation in La Cantera, prompting vehicle burnings and blockades as the Army, National Guard and state forces deployed; the presidency is advancing consultations for the Plan Michoacán with specific actions expected early next week.
