At least 120 people, mostly police officers, were injured as thousands marched through Mexico City to protest against the government of the president, Claudia Sheinbaum.
The demonstration on Saturday was organised by members of generation Z, but ended with strong backing from older supporters of opposition parties.
Sheinbaum, in power since October 2024, maintains approval ratings above 70% but has faced criticism over her security policy due to several high-profile murders.
Many of the protesters held banners and wore hats saluting Carlos Manzo, the mayor of Uruapan, Michoacán state, who was assassinated on 1 November, having led a crusade against drug-trafficking gangs
