Overview
- The march moved from the Ángel de la Independencia to the Zócalo, where some demonstrators tore down barriers and broke windows near the National Palace and the Supreme Court, triggering police use of tear gas.
- Local reports describe dozens of injuries and detentions, with one account citing about 100 police officers and 20 civilians hurt and property damage at court facilities.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the unrest, urged peaceful protest, and said participants violently removed barricades and shattered glass.
- Morena leaders blamed right‑wing operatives and bot campaigns for provoking the unrest, while opposition figures accused the government of repression over the use of gas and force.
- The confrontation contrasts with 2025 polling that shows 71%–86% approval for Sheinbaum among Generation Z, as the demonstration drew a mixed‑age crowd beyond the youth label.
