Corruption in Mexico

On November 15, 2025, thousands of Generation Z members marched in at least 24 Mexican states, using hybrid symbols like the One Piece straw hat and the sahuayense hat to protest corruption, violence, and insecurity. These demonstrations were inspired by the assassination of former mayor Carlos Manzo on November 1 and drew from global movements starting in Indonesia. President Claudia Sheinbaum's attempts to delegitimize the protests only fueled greater mobilization and international criticism.
