Dozens of women dressed in black and with green handkerchiefs, who started a march of the Monument to the Zocalo Revolution, clashed with capital policemen at the height of Avenida Juárez and Balderas.
A group of women, who led the march and identified as members of the Black Bloc, threw Molotov bombs at the policemen who prevented them from advancing to the Zocalo.
Police elements detonated some fire extinguishers to deter feminist contingents and put out the fire that reached the feet and legs of some police officers.
After some struggles the women who participate were surrounded and encapsulated by the police.
Elements of the @SSC_CDMX prevented the protesters from passing through the corner of Juarez and Balderas, and have detonated some fire extinguishers to deter feminist contingents seeking to reach the Zocalo.
