Anti-gentrification march in Mexico: Scuffles break out between protesters, security forces

On July 26, Mexicans took to the streets for the third march against gentrification in Mexico City amid strong police deployment. The marchers planned to head to the US embassy, but due to the presence of heavy security forces, they dropped their plan. However, the march led to a scuffle between the protesters and security forces. Calls against gentrification have been growing in recent days, as per Reuters report. Protesters highlighted the struggles faced by locals due to surging rents and neighborhood transformations. Housing rights organizations, such as the FVJ, have described the government's plan as insufficient in addressing the housing crisis.
