Overview

  • Demonstrations formed human chains at the Ángel de la Independencia, Alameda Central, Insurgentes and Avenida Zaragoza.
  • Participants say the Instituto de Vivienda approved their project but municipal authorization for the required land has been denied.
  • Protest leaders accuse the Tláhuac administration of approving high-end residential complexes with guaranteed services while rejecting social housing.
  • Activists reported the actions lasted about three hours and pledged to escalate with a possible plantón or a larger mobilization if ignored.
  • According to protesters, the mayor has argued the borough lacks sufficient public services to support the project, a justification they reject.
