Protesters attacked police with stones, fireworks, sticks and chains, grabbing police shields and other equipment. The capital's security secretary said 120 people were injured,100 of them police officers. Twenty people were arrested. "The march was proceeding peacefully until a hooded group started attacking the police ", he explained at a press briefing. In the days leading up to Saturday's protest, President Sheinbaum accused right-wing parties of trying to infiltrate the Gen Z movement and of using bots on social media to try to increase attendance. This week some Gen Z social media influencers said they no longer backed Saturday's protest. While elderly figures like former President Vicente Fox, and Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas published messages in support of the protests." ///////// Mexico Solidarity Media, November 16, 2025 " The generation Z mobilisation, where young people appeared only in dribs and drabs, brought together thousands of people critical of President Claudia Sheinbaum's administration and pitted adults opposed to MORENA against young people demanding equal scrutiny of politicians from all parties. "We want to end corrupt governments, in this case, it's not just MORENA, the problem is all the parties" said a university student who crossed out party logos on a piece of cardboard." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
