Women turned Protective Wall into a memorial Favorite
Ahead of Monday’s planned protest, police set up a barricade around the presidential palace, which a spokesperson described as a “peace wall” to prevent vandalism, the Guardian reported. But protesters said the barrier was symbolic of the president’s refusal to take on the issue, noting that he frequently makes a show of traveling in drug cartel-controlled parts of Mexico but felt unsafe ahead of their protest.
Women instead plastered the barriers with slogans and the names of murdered women. They also left flowers, memorial objects, and painted the pink crosses, an iconic memorial object from the Dead women of Juarez back in 1993.
Over the National Palace, the words "Mexico Feminicida" were projected.
