Mexico: Animal rights activists plan to march in downtown Mexico City June 25

Event

Animal rights activists plan to march in downtown Mexico City on June 25. The purpose of the action is to denounce animal cruelty. Participants will gather at Angel de la Independencia from 11:00 before marching towards the Zocalo. Hundreds of people are likely to participate.

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.

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.
