MEXICO: Anti-gentrification protests hit CDMX

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has condemned “xenophobic” behaviour at protests that took place in Mexico City (CDMX) on 4 July against gentrification. Hundreds protested in the upmarket neighbourhoods of Condesa and Roma, which are particularly popular with tourists and expats, against mass tourism and the rising cost of living.
