Protests erupted in Mexico City in early July, reflecting long-standing tensions regarding the impact of increased foreign presence on local communities. Residents expressed frustration over the city's shift towards catering to international tourists while overlooking local needs. This situation is particularly evident in wealthy neighborhoods like Roma and Condesa, where foreign nationals have significantly affected the local dynamic. Despite these challenges, Mexico City's cultural vibrancy, shaped by immigration and a rich history, continues to attract visitors from around the world.
In early July, hundreds of Mexican nationals took to Mexico City's streets to protest the current realities of a city that now seems to embrace foreigners at the cost of locals' needs. The protests were concentrated in the upscale neighborhoods of Roma and Condesa, where the biggest cluster of international visitors and residents have flocked.
Mexico City has always emitted a type of magic, with live folk bands roaming Plaza Garibaldi and the world’s largest collection of Mesoamerican relics in the heart of Parque Chapultepec.
