Protests in Naucalpan's northern region, disrupting traffic flow to Mexico City

In a peaceful demonstration, women's rights activists blocked Periférico Norte at Parque Naucalli in Naucalpan, denouncing gender violence and demanding justice from Mexican authorities. The protest, led by Berenice Urquidez and supported by the Artemisa Collective and other women who have experienced aggression and harassment, aimed to bring attention to the violence women face in the State of Mexico.

Heavy traffic was reported from Plaza Satélite due to the protest, causing delays towards Mexico City. The protesters marched from Torres de Satélite towards AMPEVFSyG, a specialized agency for family, sexual, and gender violence in the State of Mexico Attorney General's Office (FGJEM).

The demonstrators accused former federal deputy José Antonio "N" (Pepe Toño) of exercising family and gender violence and committing family order crimes. They reiterated their call to the State of Mexico Attorney's Office to investigate denunciations against the former legislator with a gender perspective.

Throughout the march, the protesters carried banners with messages against impunity and raised slogans to make visible the violence they claim has been minimized or ignored by institutions. Urquidez expressed that institutions should not remain silent in the face of acts that harm society and that behaviors violating women's dignity and human rights should not be normalized.

The protesters also emphasized their objective to make visible the violence women face in the State of Mexico and pressure authorities to act. They warned they will continue to organize mobilizations and public actions until their demands are met.

However, the search results do not provide information about how long the Mexican government has conducted investigations against former deputy José Antonio "N" related to accusations of family and gender terror and family order crimes.
