Mexico City Erupts in Protest: Citizens Condemn Judicial Election as 'Farsa'

Mexico City witnesses large protest against judicial elections. Thousands of citizens took to the streets of Mexico City on Sunday, June 2nd, 2025, to demonstrate against the recently concluded judicial elections. Many protesters, interviewed on camera, described the election as a "total failure" and a "farsa." One protester stated, "I came to demand from the government; we don't want their dictatorship." Another added, "We can't let our tax money be used to buy little houses in the United States." The march, which began at the Angel of Independence and proceeded to the Revolution Monument, was largely peaceful. However, a fire was started when someone ignited a mattress. The event highlights significant public dissatisfaction with the electoral process and the government's actions. The peaceful nature of the protest, despite the strong feelings expressed, offers a symbolic note of hope for future democratic engagement.
