Overview
- A civic march for clean water in Guadalajara devolved into vandalism and attacks on government and religious buildings in the historic center, including damage to the Palacio de Gobierno and the Cathedral.
- Authorities reported ten people detained, five of whom were accused of throwing Molotov cocktails and were handed to the Fiscalía General del Estado for investigation.
- Fifteen security agents were wounded during confrontations and emergency services treated six civilians, two of whom required hospitalization for medical issues including arrhythmia.
- Governor Pablo Lemus and state officials condemned the violence and said investigations were ongoing while opposition and ruling-party figures traded public accusations that rival forces or paid provocateurs had infiltrated the protest.
- A previously canceled legislative session has been rescheduled for Thursday to consider the governor’s proposal to authorize a public‑private partnership for the Chapala‑Guadalajara aqueduct, tying the security incident directly to a key water-policy debate.
