On Thursday, the civil-military parade will only reach the Monument to the Revolution, after the riots that occurred during the so-called Generation Z march.
Mexico City, November 19 (However).- The Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) shortened the route of the civic-military parade of the November 20for the commemoration of the Mexican Revolutionafter the riots that occurred last Saturday during the so-called march of the Generation Z.
Traditionally, the military parade started from the plateau of the Plinthin the Historic Center of Mexico City (CdMx), and concluded in the Mars Military Fieldlocated at Avenida del Conscripto 9981, in the Colonia Lomas de Sotelo of the Miguel Hidalgo Mayor’s Office, near Polanco.
However, with the modification announced by Sedena, the contingent will only advance from the Zócalo to the Monument of the Revolution, in the Tobacco Colony of the Cuauhtémoc Mayor’s Office. That is, less than three kilometers of travel.
The protocol route of the parade includes a route through the streets and avenues of 5 de Mayo, Juárez and Paseo de la Reforma, to culminate in Chapultepec. However, the route agreed for Thursday will allow establishing a more controlled perimeter and facilitating tactical responses in case of disturbances, as well as reducing confrontations with protesters.
Until now, three of the people who were arrested over the weekend, who respond to the names of Daniel, 20 years old; José Luis, 22 years old, and Enrique N, have been linked to proceedings for the crime of attempted homicide, but will continue their process in freedom, since the Control judges determined as a precautionary measure the periodic signing every 15 days.
For their part, five people who respond to the names of Sergio, Brian, José Enrique, Eduardo and Brayan, requested the duplication of the term, so they will remain in preventive detention.
The head of the capital’s Prosecutor’s Office, Bertha Alcalde Luján, reported on Monday that 29 people were arrested in flagrante delicto during the demonstration that took place on Saturday in the Historic Center of Mexico City for crimes such as attempted homicide, resistance by individuals, robbery and injuries to varying degrees.
However, 10 people were referred to the civic court because the injuries they caused to the police took less than 15 days to heal and this is not classified as a crime, but rather as civic offenses. In this sense, the cases were dismissed and the people were released.
The Prosecutor also detailed that, of the remaining detainees, a minor was referred to the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Justice for Adolescents.
