Mexico is hit by large “Gen Z”–led protests after the killing of Carlos Alberto Manzo Rodríguez, the Uruapan mayor who had cracked down on drug cartels. On November 15, thousands rally across cities, accusing the government of failing to improve security. In Mexico City, hooded protesters gather near the National Palace, tearing down fences as clashes with police leave about 100 injured. President Claudia Sheinbaum claims right-wing groups funded the unrest, while Generation Z Mexico says youth are protesting violence, corruption, and abuse of power.
