[Mexico] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 1, 2025, workers from cockfighting, bullfighting, and bull riding industries protested peacefully in Morelia, Michoacán, against proposed legislation to ban these activities statewide. The demonstration was classified as low severity with no reported disruptions.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The protest appears focused on entertainment and cultural industries rather than core supply chain infrastructure.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation if the proposed legislation advances through state government channels
• Watch for broader industry mobilization or counter-protests that could affect regional transportation networks in Michoacán
