Mexico is witnessing one of its most intense youth-led uprisings as Gen-Z protesters clash violently with security forces in the heart of Mexico City. Parts of the historic National Palace were damaged as masked demonstrators hurled stones, sparked fires, and forced police lines to break. The unrest escalated after accusations that the government has become inactive, corrupt, and complicit with drug cartels. With police overwhelmed and over 100 officers reported injured, speculation is mounting over whether President Sheinbaum's government will call in the army to crush the protests before they spiral further. The movement — featuring Gen-Z flags, elders forming human shields, and widespread anti-government chants — is rapidly evolving into a nationwide revolt demanding accountability and action.
