Trump Team Calls Maduro a ‘Cartel’ Boss. That Word Doesn’t Mean What You Think.

"Thousands of demonstrators protested Saturday night in #MexicoCity, #Mexico's capital, against Urápan Mayor Carlos Manzo's #murder and against #drugcartels and crime gangs controlling the country. The demonstration has already earned the designation "Mexico's #GenZ #protest," referencing the youth protest wave that has swept numerous countries in recent months.

Thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of Mexico City, and in the central plaza facing the #presidential palace, violent confrontations erupted when protesters attempted to breach security barriers and enter #President #ClaudiaSheinbaum's residence."
