Mexico City Gridlock: Student Protest Demands Justice After Alleged Police Brutality

Mexico City Protest: Students Block Major Avenues, Demand Justice Mexico City is facing major traffic disruptions due to a student protest that has entered its second day. Students from the Escuela Normal de Chiapas have blocked the intersection of Insurgentes and Paseo de la Reforma avenues, demanding justice for a fellow student who died on May 15th, allegedly due to police brutality. The protest began on Tuesday and has created significant gridlock, particularly during peak hours. "The situation is chaotic," reported Oscar Mendoza, a journalist on the scene. "Only side streets are open, causing major traffic problems across the city center." The students have set up a makeshift camp at the intersection, and show no signs of leaving. They are seeking answers about the investigation into the student's death and are calling for accountability from law enforcement. The video shows the students huddled together with blankets, indicating a prolonged protest. The protest highlights the ongoing tension between students and authorities in Mexico and the community's demand for transparency and justice. The authorities have yet to respond to the students' demands, and the protest continues to disrupt the city. The situation underscores the need for dialogue and a peaceful resolution to address the students' concerns.
