Breaking News: Clashes in Mexico City Leave 120 Injured, Thousands Protest Against Government
At least 120 people, including 100 police officers, have been injured in clashes between protesters and police in Mexico City. The violence erupted during anti-government demonstrations on Saturday, with thousands of citizens marching against violent crime and President Claudia Sheinbaum's government.
The protests, organized by Gen Z youth groups, drew support from citizens outraged by high-profile killings, including the recent assassination of Uruapan Mayor Carlos Manzo. Demonstrators dismantled parts of a barrier protecting the National Palace, where Sheinbaum lives, prompting police to use tear gas on the crowds.
Mexico City security chief has confirmed that 20 people have been arrested for crimes including robbery and assault. The clashes have brought attention to the ongoing struggle against violent crime in Mexico.
President Sheinbaum has accused right-wing politicians of funding the protests, which also took place in other cities. The situation remains tense, with ongoing clashes and arrests expected.
