Police block the march on Paseo de la Reforma

“The march is carried out with as few as possible. It doesn’t matter, we are aware that it is a work day and many people who were there that day are not at the march and are also afraid. Fear extinguished the call,” said a protester.

“After the beatings it did go away a lot, but I think the beatings and the arrests and detention of the young people had an influence, that’s what turned it off, it’s going to turn it off.”

The citizens assured that they will advance towards the plan of the Constitution, as far as they are allowed.

“Morena protects a pure criminal!” they shout as he passes by.

Axel, 19, also credited the low turnout for the second Generation Z demonstration to a new fear instilled by the authorities and to repression.

“There are fewer people than on Saturday, but I think it is because they are afraid of being arrested, I think they are afraid, that they were afraid on Saturday because they threw tear gas at them,” he said in an interview.

The young man attends the march to express his dissatisfaction with the insecurity and lack of medicines.

When asked about the fear that now exists among the protesters, Silvia Mendoza entrusted the young people not to give up on their causes.

“Let them not give up, let them continue fighting because finally we are… well, I’m old now, I’m not afraid of anything anymore. But they are the ones who are going to stay after a while. We’re already on our way out, at least I’m done. That’s why I’m not afraid and I’m here,” she told REFORMA.
