Truckers on their way to the Zocalo due to the disappearance of a fellow trucker. Expect delays. They're coming from the state of Mexico.

November 7th @8:00 am... Continuation of blockades on interstates
 
The blockades continue. Another big one is scheduled for November 7th.

Also, there's nationwide protests and marches that will take place on November 15th, including in CDMX regarding the recent assassinations of a Mayor and several police officers. I'll post about that in a separate posting when I can find legitimate information.


Global Adventurer Nov 6, 2025 12:04 am

Nationwide Protests: November 15, 2025 - Against extortion, cartels etc.
 
This might be the largest protest in recent years in Mexico. Many things recently have happened that is fueling anger amongst the nationals, including an assassination of a local mayor.

The CDMX Zócalo will be the focal point and basically every town hall throughout Mexico.

Barricades are being erected in the Zocalo, for the upcoming March and Protest scheduled for November 25th. It's expected to be violent.


Global Adventurer Nov 13, 2025 10:37 pm

CNTE (teachers union) is back in the historical center for more demonstrations
 
CNTE is back.

Expect 15 November to be one of the worst days in history for CDMX. All the protesters from just about every major group will end up in the Zocalo on that day. I would definitely advise to stay far away.


Global Adventurer Nov 15, 2025 12:28 am

⚠️All States in Mexico will be demonstrating and Marching NOV 15th
 
Here's all the locations and times for the marches and demonstrations throughout Mexico, on November 15th (today).

Expect violence.


Global Adventurer Nov 15, 2025 12:45 pm

The Zocalo right now

Not good

Thanks for all these updates !! Yikes, quite a scary scene.

Oh my goodness, I just looked at the locations you posted above & see that even Mahahual (our favorite tiny little town in the middle of nowhere) is on there !!

You're welcome. Yep, it's nationwide for sure.

Planned Protest and Demonstration for 20 November @11:00 am CDMX
 
Another protest is scheduled for November 20th. I doubt it would be as large as the one on the 15th, but expect some violence in the city.


Falco16 Nov 19, 2025 9:09 am

Reading about this Gen Z protest and not sure what to think about any of it either geopolitically or as a potential tourist.

I am inclined to stay home in spite of my desire to enjoy Mexico. I love you but maybe this is a bad time for guests...

Do you know how big Mexico City is? All the protests and demonstrations happened between the Angel of Independence and the Zocalo. They just had a demonstration on 15 November.

Mexico City has over 3000 Demonstrations per year.😄 Mainly in those same areas. Actually, the demonstrations in September are the worst because they last weeks. Just don't go where they are demonstrating. It's not a demonstration against tourists or foreigners. It's against the government. Like the one's throughout the world including the UK and the USA. No difference.

I am not worried about the demonstrations as individual events. I'm worried about the widespread mood and basis for disgruntlement. That's the case for the US and Mexico both.

Message from Gen Z Demonstrators - No Violence
 

Hopefully the agitators get the memo.

Metro Bus Delays Interuptions expected during the demonstration
 

Global Adventurer Nov 20, 2025 11:34 am

⚠️ Monday, November 24th will be a huge Blockade throughout the Country
 
On Monday, November 24th, Farmers and Transportation workers plan to shutdown the country, including all the roads, customs point of entry, industries, etc.

They are telling everyone to stay home and off the roads. This might be the largest blockade yet.

If you have any tours or plan on traveling around the country on that day, you may consider postponing.


Global Adventurer Nov 20, 2025 12:53 pm

Today's protest has been blocked by security forces keeping the attendees away from the Zocalo, at least so far. Their turnout was low compared to the 15th.

How far in advance are these things planned? Anything happening the first week of December?

Yes, the first week of December is the Pro-President march. It may be met with the anti-government individuals.

There will definitely be more demonstrations/protests also. There's many everyday, of all group sizes. But the pro- government one will be the largest. I forgot the date. I'll come back and post it.

It's on December 6th:


Global Adventurer Nov 20, 2025 9:06 pm

December 6th, 9:00 am Angel of Independence Pro-Government March
 
Pro-Government March will take place on December 6th at 9:00 am, at the Angel of Independence. It's a community march and not lead by any government official.


Global Adventurer Nov 22, 2025 6:23 am

Sunday, December 14th - Another scheduled Gen Z Anti Government march and protest
 

Global Adventurer Nov 24, 2025 8:43 am

Zocalo is now fortified with large steel barricades
 
Since the last huge protest, CDMX has increased the strength of the barricades. Hopefully they aren't compromised like they were on November 15th. Several upcoming protests over the coming weeks.


Global Adventurer Nov 25, 2025 9:55 am

Demonstration: November 25th - International Day to Eliminate Violence Against Women
 
They are putting the finishing touches on their steel barriers. Their marches always end with violence.


Global Adventurer Nov 30, 2025 3:46 am

Retired Military March - Anti Government march 30 November @11am
 
Retired Military members of Mexico have a scheduled march and demonstration against the government starting at the Angel of Independence at 11:00am.


Global Adventurer Nov 30, 2025 9:27 am

UPDATE: Pro-Mexican Government March and Rally - Sat 6 Dec 10:00 am
 
Official: The rally WILL be attended by all levels of the Mexican government, including the President. The entire historic center will be packed, so consider this information while planning your stay in CDMX.


Global Adventurer Dec 6, 2025 10:00 pm

The Pro-Government rally went on without any interuptions, and the number of attendees were huge.


Global Adventurer Dec 7, 2025 1:56 am

This was about the only Anti-Government demonstration held. More comical than anything.

Edit: I think this group was actually protesting and mocking the "GenX" protestors.

We were down there Friday afternoon and they were setting everything up. The Sound system was like any festival I have been to, blasting techno music you could hear for many, many block. Sounded great.

One question, why the barricades around the Palacio de Bellas Artes ?

It seems far from the Zocalo. Is there a reason it might be targeted by protesters?

Also interesting the National Art Museum does not have barricades, but the statue in front does.

They always barricade the Palacio de Bellas Artes. It's one of the MAJOR recognized structures of Mexico.

Protesters always target the most important structures including the cathedral in the Zocalo. They tried to burn it down a few times.

Glad to hear you made it to Mexico City!


*Edit....that museum isn't on the top of protester's list because the government doesn't operate it. Protesters are after government operated supported property like statues etc. They wouldn't target Frida's blue house for instance. Most protests are anti-government.

Global Adventurer Dec 13, 2025 6:03 pm

Information for the upcoming GenZ protest and demonstration. Expect violence.
