During a press conference, some of the organizers emphasized that this march aims to express rejection and indignation against the sayings and actions of U.S. President Donald Trump towards Mexico.
“What we are doing is for Mexico” said Enrique Graue, UNAM rector, during the national presentation of this act.
During these simultaneous marches, demonstrators will require the federal government to place the rights of all Mexicans above any negotiations with the U.S.; and will demand permanent reports from the Mexican government on negotiations with the Trump administration.
