Mexico: Activists march in downtown Mexico City May 30
Activists march in central Mexico City, Mexico, May 30, causing traffic disruptions; heightened security presence likely.
Event
Activists from the Committee of Relatives of the Detained and Disappeared Until They are Found (Comite de Familiares de Detenidos y Desaparecidos Hasta Encontrarlos) are marching in downtown Mexico City on May 30. Participants initially gathered at the Angel de la Independencia before marching toward the Zocalo. Traffic disruptions have been reported along Paseo de la Reforma due to the march.
Although the action should remain largely peaceful, authorities will almost certainly deploy an increased police presence near the demonstration as a precaution. Further transport disruptions are likely along the march route; localized business disruptions are also likely. Clashes between protesters and security forces cannot be ruled out, especially if authorities attempt to forcibly disperse crowds.
Advice
Avoid the march as a precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations if operating near the impacted area. Seek alternative routes to circumvent any related transport disruptions. Heed the instructions of security personnel.
