Thousands of protesters, primarily from Generation Z, have taken to the streets in Mexico City, responding to the assassination of a local mayor and the ongoing issues of crime and corruption in the country. The protests, which have escalated into violent clashes with police, have left at least 120 injured, including many officers, as demonstrators stormed the National Palace. Eyewitness reports describe chaotic scenes, including the use of tear gas by police in a bid to control the crowds. The movement accuses government leaders of failing to address the security crisis and protecting cartel interests, reflecting a rising tide of youth activism fueled by recent events. Calls for the resignation of President Claudia Sheinbaum have intensified as the protests gain momentum, sparking debates about the role and influence of youth in political movements across the region.
