Thousands of people took to the streets of Mexico City to protest against rising crime and widespread corruption, as the “Gen Z” protest movement gains momentum across the country. Demonstrators, many of them young activists, voiced their frustration over increasing insecurity, government inefficiency, and a perceived lack of accountability among public officials. Protesters carried banners, chanted slogans, and demanded stronger action to combat criminal activity and corruption at all levels of government.
The movement, largely driven by younger generations, has been growing steadily in recent months, with social media playing a key role in mobilizing participants and raising awareness. Organizers emphasized that the protests are peaceful but urgent, urging authorities to implement reforms and take concrete steps to protect citizens and restore public trust.
Authorities in Mexico City deployed additional security personnel to manage the demonstrations and ensure public safety. Despite the heavy turnout, the protests remained largely orderly, with citizens determined to make their voices heard. Activists said they plan to continue the campaign until meaningful reforms are enacted and transparency is increased in both local and national governance.
