[Mexico] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 6, 2025, at least 100 relatives of missing people and University of Guadalajara students conducted a peaceful march in Guadalajara, Jalisco, demanding authorities locate two students who disappeared in Tlaquepaque on March 27. The protest moved from Universidad square to the government palace, representing a low-severity demonstration focused on a missing persons case.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The peaceful nature and limited scale of this student-led demonstration suggest minimal immediate disruption to regional commercial activity or logistics flows through Jalisco state.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of protests if the missing students case gains broader public attention or if authorities fail to provide updates on the investigation
• Watch for any escalation in protest tactics or government response that could affect movement around Guadalajara's city center
