The call received a response from thousands of people who, despite the organization’s name, belong to several generations. It all ended with riots in the Zocalo in the capital, at the gates of the National Palace, the seat of executive power.
The tour began at the Angel of Independence as a peaceful march and ended in the largest square in the country, where “Black Mass” Participants in the demonstration hit the walls protecting the National Palace with hammers and stones until they were demolished.
This caused a confrontation between this group and the Metropolitan Police, who fired tear gas.

The national protest of “Generation Z” in Mexico was not characterized by age, as in other parts of the world, but by a call to “not forget” the victims of violence, a problem that remains despite the change of government that Mexico witnessed in 2018 with the coming to power of former President López Obrador, who was succeeded by Sheinbaum.
The call served as a catalyst for students, farmers, members of opposition political parties and citizens born in Michoacan state like Cristian, who told EFE that the violence in his region had ended and that the killing of Uruapan’s mayor, Carlos Manzo (1985-2025), on November 1, was proof of that.
“It’s a mockery on the part of politicians,” he declared after identifying himself as “nonpartisan.” “If there was actually an acceptance on their part that there was a problem of violence, I think it would be easier to deal with.”

The president pointed out directly Against the existence of “Chapuchados” Which led to riots.
The Mexican president said during a tour in the city of Junota, Tabasco state: “They removed some fences with violence and smashed windows. We say no to violence: if someone does not agree, he must demonstrate peacefully. Violence must never be used for change; always through peaceful means.”
In addition, Sheinbaum said that “very few young people” participated in the demonstration called across the country on social media, which included thousands of attendees who criticized the government he heads.
“They say that young people participated in marches, but in reality there were very few young people,” said the president, who commented during her morning conference on Friday that this mobilization was linked to the political opposition to her administration and the Movement for National Renewal (Morena), the ruling party from which the president emerged.
