Mexico: Activists rallying at multiple locations in Mexico City on July 9
Activists demonstrating in four locations in Mexico City, Mexico, July 9. Transport disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with the National Torch Movement (Movimiento Antorchista) are staging rallies at multiple locations in Mexico City on July 9. The purpose of the action is to demand that the government address problems some groups face with access to services such as drinking water, electricity, and public safety. Participants have gathered at the following locations:
Angel de la Independencia
Zocalo
Institute for Returning Stolen Property to the People (Instituto para Devolver al Pueblo lo Robado, INDEP)
Intersection between Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza and Anillo Perferico
Although the action will probably remain largely peaceful, authorities will likely maintain an increased security presence near the gathering sites as a precaution. Localized transport and business disruptions are likely. Clashes between the authorities and protesters cannot be ruled out, especially if security forces attempt to disperse the gathering forcibly.
Avoid the demonstrations as a precaution. Seek alternative routes to circumvent the protest areas and related transport disruptions. Allow additional time to reach destinations if operating near the impacted areas. Heed the instructions of authorities.
