Protesters Block Tláhuac Avenue In Mexico City To Demand Housing Rights

Horseback protesters from the Coalition of United Human Settlements of the Sierra de Santa Catarina in the Tlahuac borough of Mexico City block the Paso del Conejo road to demand the immediate suspension of the Administrative Recovery of Conservation Land proceedings taking place in the Sierra Santa Catarina. They argue that these actions violate their rights and are carried out without prior dialogue, as some people allegedly purchase land in the area, which is a protected zone and therefore no urban settlements are permitted, in Mexico City, Mexico, on January 12, 2026.
