A group of people with faces began the attempts to try to tear down the fences that protected the National Palace, while the police responded with fire extinguishers from the other side of the premises.
Some of the members of the block wear the emblem of the One Piece anime on their clothes, which has become a symbol of resistance throughout the world.
In the midst of the smoke and chaos, a young man waved a One Piece flag, while the protesters continued their attempts to tear down the fences and some others tried to scale the fences.
Other hooded people on the Zócalo plate removed drains to smash them against the floor.
About 40 minutes was the time it took for the protesters to tear down the fences. When the police officers were discovered, the hooded men began to throw stones at them and attack them with sticks, while they protected themselves with their shields.
The number of protesters visibly surpassed the authorities.
Paramedics installed in the vicinity of City Hall reported to REFORMA that they have treated at least 20 people injured by blows.
A young woman of about 25 years old arrived to be treated for a stone she received in the head.
The authority reported that so far these are the only acts of violence that have been recorded in the mobilization called For Justice and Freedom.
A young man who was in the middle of the riots accused that the retreating police officers also threw stones.
In an interview he referred to the murdered Mayor Carlos Manzo as his general.
“Until now we have arrived in dialogue, we have been more activists than aggressive. That is what we were really looking for. (I hope) that the Government changes, that the corruption of our Government is exterminated,” he said while holding a shield that was taken from a police officer.
Shouting “PRI, PAN, Morena, the same shit!”, protesters also burned images of President Claudia Sheinbaum and the Secretary of Security, Omar García Harfuch.
