As the opening match of the World Cup kicked off yesterday between Mexico and South Africa in Mexico City, thousands took to the streets to protest the administration of President Claudia Sheinbaum.<\/p>\n
They marched toward the historic Azteca Stadium, and began throwing cones, rocks and plant pots into the security perimeter that had been set up by Mexican authorities as the match kicked off at 3 p.m. Eastern time.<\/p>\n
Riot police with shields and on horseback tried to contain the protestors who were there for a range of causes including a teachers union and the disappearances of tens of thousands of people in Mexico.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are more than 130,000 disappearances in Mexico and the president denies that they are forced,\u201d one protestor told Forecast in Spanish. \u201cThere are no resources for mothers to search because they simply search without the support of the government or institutions. So they are alone, like the teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n
