Thousands of people have rallied across Mexico, protesting against growing crime, corruption, and impunity, in demonstrations that were organized by members of Generation Z. 
  
The marches on Saturday were attended by people from several age groups. 
 
In Mexico City, protesters tore down fences around the National Palace where President Claudia Sheinbaum lives, prompting a clash with riot police who deployed tear gas, according to media reports.
