Mexico: Protestors Storm National Palace to Protest Cartel Violence

"Many Mexicans are at their limit with the cartel violence and political bribery plaguing their country, and a crowd made its anger felt in a startling and fierce way by storming the National Palace Saturday.

The violent protest was particularly striking as being explicitly organized by “Gen Z” —There were, however, angry citizens of all ages in the mob that clashed with riot police and breached a barrier at the National Palace. President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo faces mounting criticism for her refusal to address rampant cartel violence, with one of her critics recently killed in a public assassination.
Sheinbaum and other politicians face allegations of taking cartel money, hence the brazen and habitually unpunished crimes of cartel members. Mexican Sen. Lilly Tellez told Fox after detailing the allegations, “The president has threatened me to proceed against me with criminal prosecution to get me out of the Senate and get me in jail just because I told you.”
Protestor Arizbeth Garcia is a middle-aged physician who told the AP, “Doctors are also exposed to the insecurity gripping the country, where you can be murdered and nothing happens.” Andres Massa, aged 29, declared, “We need more security.” PJMedia
