In the framework of the International Women's Day, thousands of women gathered in downtown Mexico City to protest.
This year, the protests included a specific demand: the removal of immunity for the federal deputy from Morena and former governor of Morelos, Cuauhtémoc Blanco, accused of attempted rape by his half-sister, Nidia Fabiola Blanco.
During the march, feminist collectives carried a piñata with Blanco's image, wearing a Morena t-jersey, which was dragged through the streets and later burned in front of the Palace of Fine Arts.
The protesters chanted slogans like "Cuauhtémoc, rapist of women. We say it to your face because that's what you are" and "This is not a deputy, he's a rapist," expressing their outrage and demanding legal action against the politician.
Impeachment process halted: Political protection in the Chamber of Deputies
On March 6, the Instructing Section of the Chamber of Deputies decided not to initiate a proceeding to remove Cuauhtémoc Blanco's immunity.
The request for impeachment, submitted by the Morelos Prosecutor's Office in February 2025, is based on the complaint of attempted rape filed by his half-sister.
