Last Saturday, thousands of people – around 17,000, according to official data – took to the streets in different parts of Mexico in a march called by generation Z, that is, those born between 1997 and 2012.
But they were not the only ones nor the majority. People of all ages joined the appeal, which sparked controversy. President Claudia Sheinbaum herself discredited the event due to this disparity. Although the young people mobilized did not seem dissatisfied with the diversity.
The president had also tried to downplay the weight of that march a few days earlier, presenting an investigation linking the mobilization campaigns to the opposition and personalities such as the entrepreneur Ricardo Salinas Pliego.
