Mexico: Anti-government protest planned in Mexico City September 1

Event

The "Chalecos México" activist movement is planning to stage a demonstration in Mexico City on Sunday, September 1, denouncing the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Participants are planning to gather at the Ángel de la Independencia monument at 11:00 (local time) before marching to the Monumento a la Revolución. Similar demonstrations are expected to be held in other major urban centers.

A heightened security presence and transportation disruptions, such as road closures and traffic congestion, are to be expected around demonstration sites.
