In November 2025, a series of anti-government demonstrations were held across Mexico following the assassination of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo. The protests expressed dissatisfaction with the administration of President Claudia Sheinbaum, particularly over the federal response to drug-related violence and alleged official negligence. Demonstrations took place in major cities and varied in scale and tone, ranging from peaceful marches and vigils to episodes of vandalism and confrontations with security forces. The authenticity of the protests' origins has been questioned by the government and some international media.
