Event Summary

Thousands of people, primarily organized by Generation Z but with strong backing from older opposition supporters, protested in Mexico against growing crime, corruption, and impunity. The demonstrations were fueled by systemic frustrations, including the recent assassination of Mexico — Michoacán Mayor Carlos Manzo. While Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum maintains high approval ratings, she accused right-wing parties of attempting to infiltrate the movement. Some protests turned violent, with clashes between youth and police resulting in injuries and arrests. The event reflects a broader global trend of Gen Z-led protests against inequality and corruption, as seen in Nepal and Madagascar.
