Members of the so-called Generation Z and dozens of citizens of all ages took to the streets to demand immediate attention to demands such as security, health, and access to water, as well as the fight against drug trafficking and the corruption of officials and institutions. At around 10:30 a.m., the contingents began gathering at the Monument to the Revolution, where they criticized the government's lack of results in different sectors and called for the strengthening of independent candidacies. Minutes later, they set off toward the capital's Zócalo. Amid flags and slogans such as "Not one step back," the demonstrators advanced peacefully through the streets surrounding the Historic Center. At midday, the mobilization, made up of members of the self-described Generation Z, citizens, collectives of families of the disappeared, supporters of Carlos Manzo and Grecia Quiroz, as well as members of the Sombrero Movement from various states of the Republic, arrived at the Plaza de la Constitución, where they held a rally.

"I'm afraid to get on public transportation and be robbed. I'm afraid that my daughter will go out to work and not come back. That's why I'm here, not because I'm against a government or a party," she said. "Our authorities are not delivering for us. The State should provide security to citizens, and they are not fulfilling that right for us to feel safe," she added. For her, "the country and we are doing very badly, because we see scandal after scandal and do nothing. There is a great deal of weariness in society, because we believed there would be a real change and it isn't true; they turned out to be worse."

Additionally, he emphasized that "we want citizens to participate in government positions, not the same people who have failed us for many years." "The country is in decline, because there are deaf ears and closed doors. That is the government that is representing us today, where causes go unaddressed and there is no interest whatsoever in resolving them," he declared. For her part, Angelita Orozco recounted that she traveled from Guadalajara, Jalisco, to defend Mexico, "because every day the country is falling apart on us. Every day there is nothing but lies and mockery of the people." March in Mexico City with contingents from "Generation Z" and members of the Independent Sombrero Movement (11/15/2026).

They mock Mexico every day. They lie to Mexico every day," she said.
