Assessments & Forecast
- Given heightened sentiments over the issue, the protest march on March 20 with a turnout of approximately 500 police officers, and civilian protestors expected to support the protest, the upcoming march in Campeche is expected to have a turnout in the high-hundreds-to-low-thousands. The march in Mexico City, is likely to be the second biggest, with a turnout in the low-to-mid-hundreds. Protests in other cities are anticipated to have a turnout in the high-dozens-to-low-hundreds.
- Based on previous protests in Campeche, such as the one on March 20, the marches are likely to transpire peacefully. Nevertheless, heightened security measures, including the deployment of military forces, can be expected near the protest locations and along the march routes to monitor proceedings.
- Accordingly, disruptions to vehicular and pedestrian traffic are likely to occur near protest locations during the evening hours.
Recommendations
Those residing or operating in the aforementioned cities in Mexico on April 13 are advised to allot for disruptions due to the slated police protests during the evening hours.
