Thousands of Mexicans marched in Mexico City on Saturday to protest the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum.

The demonstration was initially called by Generation Z, though opposition parties later urged supporters to join, resulting in a crowd dominated by broader government critics.

The march remained largely peaceful until masked youths dismantled police fencing near the Zócalo, prompting brief clashes involving rock throwing and tear gas.

Some young protesters carried black flags with the skull-and-crossbones symbol from the manga One Piece, though they represented a minority.
