Police used tear gas to disperse the rally outside the presidential palace on Saturday

Masked rioters clashed with police outside the presidential palace in Mexico City during the anti-government ‘Generation Z’ protest on Saturday.

Thousands of demonstrators marched from the Angel of Independence monument to Constitution Square, where they gathered outside the National Palace, which hosts the president’s office.

Although the rally began peacefully, a group of masked rioters described by local media as Black Bloc broke through security barriers, hurled stones, and fought with officers.

Videos from the scene show protesters hitting officers, as well as police kicking a protester lying on the ground.
