Los Angeles’ sister city saw its residents protest on Friday as hundreds, many of them young people, took to the streets to protest the gentrification caused by so-called "digital nomads” and other factors in neighborhoods such as Roma and La Condesa in Mexico City.
According to Alfonso Sotelo of El Heraldo, the march began with dozens of people meeting at the Foro Lindbergh in Parque México to work collectively to make protest signs. Dozens became hundreds and they marched through the city towards the Estela de Luz bearing signs demanding gringos, who make up the majority of the foreign gentry, go home in various, colorful ways.
