Mexico is witnessing one of its most intense youth-led uprisings as Gen-Z protesters clash violently with security forces in the heart of Mexico City. Parts of the historic National Palace were damaged as masked demonstrators hurled stones, sparked fires, and forced police lines to break. The unrest escalated after accusations that the government has become inactive, corrupt, and complicit with drug cartels.With police overwhelmed and over 100 officers reported injured, speculation is mounting over whether President Sheinbaum's government will call in the army to crush the protests before they spiral further. The movement — featuring Gen-Z flags, elders forming human shields, and widespread anti-government chants — is rapidly evolving into a nationwide revolt demanding accountability and action.#MexicoGenZProtest #MexicoUprising #NationalPalaceFire #GenZRevolutionMexico #MexicoRiots #SheinbaumGovernmentCrisis #MexicoProtest2025 #GenZVsGovernment #NarcoGovernmentClaims #MexicoPoliceClashes #BreakingNewsMexico #MexicoViolence #ProtestInMexicoCity #ArmyInMexico #MexicoUnrest #GenZMovement #MexicoUpdates

MEXICO CITY, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Thousands protested across Mexico on Saturday under the banner of “Generation Z,” denouncing rising violence after the public killing of an anti-crime mayor earlier this month. ....

Mexico City's public safety secretary Pablo Vazquez said in a press conference that 100 police officers were injured, including 40 who required hospital treatment. Another 20 civilians were also injured, Vazquez told local media outlet Milenio.

A group calling itself "Generation Z Mexico" that called for the protests has said in a "manifesto" circulating on social media that it is non-partisan and represents Mexican youth that are fed up with violence, corruption and abuse of power. ....

Sheinbaum's government has questioned the motives behind Saturday's marches, saying they were organized in large part by right-leaning political opponents and promoted by bots on social media.
