With an escalation in violence in the march of the 8Mfeminists of Black block continued trying to tear down the fences that protect National Palacewith the use of street furniture and fire, while Batres warned of the presence of men on the plank of the Plinth of the CDMX.
About four hours after his arrival at the Constitution Plazawhen they began the maneuvers to climb and knock down the iron wall that divides the hooded women and the policewomen, the radicals now use homemade flamethrowers to hurt the members of the athena grouping.
And it is that as seen in various videos, the hooded feminists take advantage of the cracks between the two and a half meter high steel sheets to launch the flames, which in turn continue to be repelled by those of the Ministry of Citizen Security (SSC) with fire extinguishers.
While the flames are added to the hammers, sticks, mallets and tubes, as well as traffic signs that the hooded women removed from the Zócalo circuit, in addition to a traffic light, installed between the National Palace and the Old Town Hallwhose post was later used unsuccessfully as a battering ram to knock down the fences.
While on Twitter Marti BatresCDMX Government Secretary, assured that there are already many men in front of the fences, along with those of the Black Block, and added that these “are part of the groups that generate violence that we referred to yesterday.”
This, after this Monday he asserted in a press conference that the Government of Mexico City had received several reports about groups that would seek to confront the capital police during the 8M march, and among whose members they would have confiscated Molotov cocktails, mallets, and rockets before the start of the mobilizations.
However, it highlights that the CDMX Zócalo was divided into two parallel “worlds”, because while the hooded women sought to confront the Police and made bonfires with posters of the march, in the other half, towards the Madero pedestrian street, the feminists who participated in the 8M mobilization sang songs while demanding equality from the authorities and to stop violence against women and femicides.
They, after remembering the victims and the 30,000 women who are missing or missing, began to withdraw from the Zócalo square, leaving activities such as the burning of posters and talks with relatives of victims, among others, on the first square of the Zócalo. .
Of police and restaurants without fences
And while the “heavy” is in the Zócalo, users of social networks, as well as the SSC, highlighted the applause and shouts of support that the policewomen received on the corner of Central axis and Francisco I Maderoin front of the Palace of Fine Arts, which the uniformed women responded by joining the march.
Meanwhile, around the Central Axis and avenue May 5 a group of hooded women tore down the fences that protected the facade of the Sanborns restaurant, from the iconic House of tilesand where so far no damage has been reported.

This, after several attempts and many jerks to the metal structures, in an action that was later repeated in a bank branch BBVA two blocks from the Zócalo, and where they would have broken the windows, while, after the passage of the hooded contingent, which also caused a bottleneck to the march that came behind them, the protections were put back by store personnel .
