Mexico’s Gen Z protest corruption, inequality; clashes with police injures 120

The capital's security secretary, Pablo Vazquez, said that 120 people were injured in the clashes, in which 100 were police officers. Protesters attacked police with stones, fireworks, sticks and chains, grabbing police shields and other equipment, Associated Press reported.

Despite a recent spate of high-profile murders in Mexico, including the assassination of a popular mayor of Michoacan, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum still maintains a high approval rating.

Days before the protest, Sheinbaum accused the right-wing parties of infiltrating the Gen Z protest and alleged that they were using bots on social media to increase attendance.
