Twenty Simultaneous Protests Paralyze Traffic Across CDMX

Mexico City's Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana (SSC) logged 20 formal concentrations, 5 scheduled meetings, and 2 cycling demonstrations on May 14 — one of the highest single-day protest tallies of the year. Key actions included CFE (Federal Electricity Commission) retirees at the Zócalo demanding pension adjustments (starting 08:00), and former Ruta 100 bus workers demanding back payments (10:00). Additional demonstrations were held at the Ángel de la Independencia, UNAM Ciudad Universitaria, Palacio Nacional, and Secretaría de Gobernación. The concentration of protests created gridlock on major arteries including Paseo de la Reforma, Eje Central, and 5 de Mayo, with SEMOVI activating traffic diversions. The volume of concurrent demonstrations reflects the persistent civic mobilization that characterizes CDMX under the Brugada administration.
