The Court expressed its concern about the attacks on security elements, the damage to the facilities and the attempts to violently enter the building.
“These facts distort the legitimate purpose of any demonstration,” he said.
The institution reaffirmed that “it is unnecessary to resort to violence to express a claim,” in addition to reiterating its commitment to citizens and its responsibility to guarantee the rights of all, “always within a framework of responsibility and respect.”
Members of civil organizations, citizens, the One Piece movement and young people from the so-called “Generation Z” marched this Saturday from the Angel of Independence to the capital’s Zócalo. The Plaza de la Constitución remained protected by metal fences for several hours, until a group of protesters removed part of the barrier and directly confronted the police guarding it.
The Government of Mexico City reported that this Saturday’s demonstration left 120 people injured, including police and civilians, as well as 40 detained and presented before the Public Ministry and the civic judge for crimes such as injuries, theft and other crimes.
In a press conference, the Secretary of Citizen Security, Pablo Vázquez Camacho, explained that during the confrontation between protesters and elements guarding the National Palace, 100 police officers were injured: 60 were treated at the scene and 40 were taken to hospitals for blows and burns.
