Event
Activists affiliated with the Broad Front for Mexico (Frente Amplio por Mexico) are demonstrating near the Angel of Independence monument in Mexico City on Sept. 3 to rally grassroots-level support ahead of the nation's 2024 general election. Emerging reports indicate the demonstration is causing localized transport disruptions along Avenida Paseo de la Reforma. The event has attracted dozens of participants. Activists could also stage related demonstrations at other locations in Mexico City, including at government buildings, public squares, and thoroughfares.
Authorities will likely monitor the rally as a precaution and may move to disperse it if the participants become unruly. Isolated minor skirmishes between police and activists cannot be ruled out. Localized transport disruptions will likely continue until the rally concludes.

As a precaution, avoid any demonstration that may materialize. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near gathering sites. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
