Mexicans do not want violence. To emphasize this idea, she also recalled some controversial statements from the leader of the National Action Party, Jorge Romero, who spoke about the use of violence, or Jorge Castañeda, who called for a black campaign against the 4T. She also highlighted the extensive coverage in the international press, which she claimed sought to create an image of chaos. A campaign is coming on social media, and what they wanted to promote is that young people are against the transformation and that they were repressed. In this regard, she warned: "We are not going to fall into provocation." They believe that by associating with the international right, they will stop the transformation, but they will not stop it, the majority of the people are with the transformation," said Sheinbaum. Although she also assured that there are many things that still need to be advanced, as she defended that 36 years of neoliberalism cannot be confronted in seven years. If there is a legitimate demand, it must be heard," she said. She highlighted that there were few young people and "many familiar faces," referring to leaders of opposition parties, and highlighted the coverage of "one particular television station," but above all, she emphasized the acts of violence against the police, which she underscored by showing videos of protesters from the so-called black block attacking security elements. On social media, on the other hand, police abuse against protesters was also denounced; in this regard, the president only indicated that it will be up to the capital's security body to clarify its actions. The president considered that these violent acts were aimed at provoking a repressive response from the government, which she assured did not happen. The 4T accuses the "old PRIAN" of promoting the Generation Z march. What happens after this mobilization? During this Monday's press conference, Claudia Sheinbaum maintained the narrative that last Saturday's march was promoted by right-wing opposition groups with little participation from young people and considered that there was an attempt to provoke repression. While the president had already spoken out questioning the violence exercised during the march, this morning she was questioned further and elaborated even more. She rejected that this would have been the scenario, as she even assured that the Zócalo was not filled.
