Demonstrations were held in different municipalities of Guanajuato, such as in the capital of the entity, where they marched from the steps of the Juárez Theater to ask for justice for the murder of Carlos Manzo, in addition to demanding an end to the violence in that territory.
In Irapuato, people also gathered to demonstrate. They walked from the Flag Monument to the center of that municipality with the slogan “I want to live, not survive.” The same thing happened in Celaya, where participants criticized the federal government.

In Guadalajara, protesters dressed in white t-shirts and a straw hat in reference to Carlos Manzo, former mayor of Uruapan, Michoacán.
In their rally, as in the rest of the demonstrations, they demanded security and opportunities for young people.
Before the end of the demonstration, around 4:00 p.m., a group of young people with their faces covered damaged street furniture and burned doors of the Government Palace, even though the police tried to repel the attack from inside.
The young people threw Molotov cocktails at the state building and managed to enter, setting fire to stationery, desks and chairs. Given this, security elements detained more than 20 people.
Michoacan
They also demonstrated in Morelia, but attacks were reported, as three reporters who were recording the march were beaten.
The demonstration began peacefully at the Morelos monument and advanced towards the Government Palace. It concluded around 4:00 p.m.
However, a group of people arrived when the rally was about to end and shouted slogans against the police. When the uniformed officers tried to retreat the young people, they attacked journalists who were covering the demonstration.
The Internal Affairs Unit of the Ministry of Public Security reported that it will initiate an investigation file against an element of the Civil Guard who attacked a journalist.
