Edson Andrade, the organizer of last weekend's Generation Z march, announced that he will leave the country for security reasons. In a video, he stated that, according to him, he is facing a situation of risk. 'The persecution by President Claudia Sheinbaum against me has gone so far that to ensure my safety, today I have to abandon my home and my country,' he said. 'They are trying to criminalize me for working, by exposing a contract that has nothing to do with my personal political opinions, but with the production of institutional content in which I clearly do not appear and I am not the only one working on it,' he added. This Tuesday, Luisa Alcalde, president of Morena, stated that Edson Saúl Andrade Lemus was hired by the National Action Party (PAN) for 2 million 106 thousand pesos for 'Digital Strategy and Social Media Management Services.' 'The young non-partisan Edson Andrade, the main promoter of the Generation Z march, was hired by the National Action Party in February 2025 for $2,106,810.00 (Two million one hundred six thousand eight hundred ten pesos 00/100 M.N.),' she said in a post. 'They are trying to criminalize me for working with PAN. They are trying to criminalize me for working, by exposing a contract that has nothing to do with my personal political opinions, but with the production of institutional content in which I clearly do not appear and I am not the only one working on it,' the young man reiterated. 'I am not leaving defeated, I am leaving to continue fighting,' he concluded. 'When a people loses its fear, no power is capable of stopping it, and we are no longer afraid,' he finished.
