The revolution in Mexico City was televised for all to see on Saturday as thousands of furious Gen Z protesters stormed the Presidential palace, leading to a riot for the ages.
As the Associated Press reported, these young agitators were fed up with not only the rampant crime and corruption that have long plagued Mexico, but leftist President Claudia Sheinbaum’s coddling of drug cartel members.
As TGP readers know, these Mexican narco-terrorists have killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans and Mexicans with their violent and illicit activities.
The protest was also attended by fans of Michoacán Mayor Carlos Manzo, who was recently killed by cartel terrorists. They wore the straw hats that symbolized his populist political movement.
Brilliant independent journalist Julio Rosas was on scene and documented the rampant chaos.
In one video, you can see a protester being knocked out by police while others in the crowd swarm and knock out an officer.

Protesters also managed to evade the barrier protecting the National Palace, forcing police to respond with munitions.

Incredibly, some determined protesters managed to tear down the wall. What a failure by security.

Before the violence even began, the agitators all yelled in unison, “Sheinbaum is a narco-president!”

The capital’s security secretary, Pablo Vázquez, revealed that about 120 people were injured, including 100 police officers. Twenty people were arrested.
Sheinbaum previously stated that fighting a war against the drug cartels was unlawful because it would violate their rights.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum just said fighting a war against drug cartels is unlawful because it would violate the rights of drug traffickers and it would be “fascist.”

Mexican Senator Lilly Téllez, a member of the conservative National Action Party (PAN), also blew the lid off the cartel’s iron grip on Mexico’s government and directly named Sheinbaum as part of the corrupt “narco-political” machine.
A Senator from Mexico went on Fox News and exposed it all

– She was funded by money from the cartels
– It’s not just the President, there are an entire group of Mexico politicians labeled the “narco politicians”
