Mexico City Protests: Youth Demand Action Against Cartels

Protests erupt in Mexico City against violent crime, with thousands marching against President Claudia Sheinbaums handling of cartel violence. The demonstrations, organized by youth groups, were allegedly funded by right-wing politicians, according to Sheinbaum. Tensions escalated when protesters dismantled a barrier protecting the National Palace, leading to police using tear gas. Mayor Carlos Manzo, a vocal critic of cartels, was recently assassinated, further fueling the unrest. Despite criticism, Sheinbaum maintains high approval ratings and has made progress against fentanyl trafficking. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
