Violent demonstrations erupted across Mexico over the weekend, leaving more than 100 police officers injured in clashes with protesters. The protests, organized by members of Generation Z, called for increased enforcement to prevent organized crime and alleged government corruption following the assassination of a lawmaker who had spoken out against cartels.

A large protest in Mexico City against insecurity and corruption turned violent on Saturday, with some protesters attacking police in the capital's central square, injuring 100 officers, according to authorities.

Injuries were reported after clashes between police and Gen Z movement protesters Saturday in Mexico City as demonstrations took place across Mexico.

The largest "Gen Z” protests took place in Nepal in September, following a ban on social media, and led to the resignation of that nation’s prime minister. In Mexico, many young people say they are frustrated with systemic problems like corruption and impunity for violent crimes.

The unrest followed the early November killing of anti-cartel Mayor Carlos Manzo, as protesters denounced the government’s response to his assassination and demanded better security across the country.

Members of Mexico’s Gen Z, as well as older protesters, demonstrated on Saturday in the wake of a high-profile assassination and rising anger over persistent violence.
