During anti-government protests that took place this weekend in Mexico, 100 police officers and 20 civilians were injured in clashes. This is reported by UNN with reference to AFP.
Details
In Mexico, thousands of people took to the streets and demonstrated across the country against instability, corruption, and government policies.
According to media reports, thousands of people were called by the "Sombrero Movement," which emerged after the recent assassination of a mayor known for his fight against organized crime, and a group calling itself "Mexican Generation Z."
Reference
Many banners were dedicated to the popular politician Carlos Manzo Rodríguez, who was mayor of a municipality 300 kilometers west of Mexico City. Rodríguez left President Sheinbaum's Morena party in 2024 and became a fierce critic of both the party and the president. Rodríguez was killed on November 1.
