From the Daily Mail: "Mexico anti-corruption protest descends into chaos as thousands of 'Gen Z' demonstrators storm National Palace."
Thousands of people filled the streets of the nation's capital and marched to the palace, which is the official residence of President Claudia Sheinbaum, the progressive politician who took office last October.
The demonstration, largely organized by young activists and supported by older supporters of opposition movements, was the culmination of citizens' frustration with the government's inability to stop violence and provide economic opportunity.
Protestors, many of whom were calling for Sheinbaum's resignation, were seen trying to breach police barricades around the palace.
Authorities responded by shooting tear gas out into the crowd, causing people to run in all different directions.
Clashes between citizens and police lasted for hours, but eventually order was returned to the area around the palace.
Of course, it can't be Sheinbaum's fault: "Saturday was the biggest protest against Sheinbaum to date. She has responded to demonstrations throughout the week by accusing right-wing groups of being behind the escalating shows of discontent."
Well, that will surely stabilize the US.
ReplyDeleteThere are allegations that Sheinbaum is a bought and paid for puppet of the cartels. Is it true? Who knows. But the perception is enough.
