Clashes in Mexico City amid Gen-Z styled protests over cartel crime and corruption
Thousands of people have rallied across Mexico, protesting against growing crime, corruption and impunity, which, though organised by members of Generation Z, ended up being mostly backed and attended by older supporters of opposition parties.
The marches on Saturday were attended by people from several age groups, with supporters of the slain Michoacan Mayor Carlos Manzo attending the protest wearing the straw hats that symbolise his political movement.
In Mexico City, a small group of hooded protesters tore down fences around the National Palace where President Claudia Sheinbaum lives, prompting a clash with riot police who deployed tear gas, according to media reports.
Mexico City’s public safety secretary, Pablo Vazquez, said in a news conference that 100 police officers were injured, including 40 who required hospital treatment.
Another 20 civilians were also injured, Vazquez told local media outlet Milenio.
The public safety secretary also said 20 people were arrested and another 20 “referred for administrative offences”.




The Gen Z anti-cartel protesters managed to break through the police lines and into the Government Palace of Guadalajara, in the Mexican state of Jalisco
TLDR: tens of thousands of people are mass protesting and rioting all over Mexico after the wake of the assassination of Mayor Carlos Manzo. Could this be the start of another Gen-Z revolution just like in Nepal?
