🇲🇽Mexicans protest against electoral reform
Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans took to the streets on Feb. 26 to protest the electoral reform recently passed by the Senate.
Protests were announced in over 100 cities across Mexico, the U.S. and in Europe.
📍Protesters filled the central Zocalo square and adjoining streets in Mexico City. Organizers say, over 500,000 people turned out in Mexico City, while the city government gives a lower estimate of around 90,000 people. The plaza is normally thought to hold nearly 100,000 people.
📍Reportedly, at least 22,000 people gathered in Monterrey, and another 20,000 took to the streets in Guadalajara. Large protests were also held in Cuernavaca and Puebla.
Protesters waved flags, umbrellas, and banners with the distinctive pink colors of the National Electoral Institute - INE.
❌ Many protesters held banners with "El INE no se toca" (Don't touch INE) and "Mi voto no se toca" (Don't touch my voice) slogans.
Protesters called for the Supreme court to overturn the legislation on constitutional grounds, stating that the reform should be approved by 2/3 of the Congress, while lawmakers only voted 72-50 in favor.
The reform slashes the INE's budget and staff, as well as its responsibilities.
🔻This appears to be the largest protest so far against President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's administration. Clashes between Obrador and the opposition intensify ahead of the July 2024 presidential election.
