US EditionMexico: Thousands march against crime and corruption as Gen Z protesters breach presidential palace barriers and injure 100
- On Saturday, thousands of demonstrators flooded Mexico City demanding action against rising crime, corruption and impunity.
- After the November 1 killing of Uruapan Mayor Carlos Alberto Manzo Rodríguez, outrage intensified as protesters demanded President Claudia Sheinbaum's resignation over alleged cartel ties, while Generation Z Mexico framed protests as nonpartisan youth action.
- Authorities reported heavy injuries and arrests after confrontations with hooded individuals; Mexico City Public Safety Secretary Pablo Vázquez said 100 police officers were injured, 40 hospitalised, around 20 civilians hurt, 20 arrested and 20 faced administrative charges.
- The march drew cross-generational support from older citizens and opposition party backers, while President Claudia Sheinbaum accused right-wing groups and social-media bots of infiltration and several Gen Z influencers distanced themselves amid claims of politicisation.
- Analysts say the protests mark a generational turning point, as Gen Z activism this year pressures national politics despite President Claudia Sheinbaum’s stable approval ratings.
