A masked protester bashes a car window during a demonstration against gender violence in Mexico City.
The protesters, numbering at least 200 and comprised mostly of women, burned vehicles belonging to La Prensa and briefly clashed with security forces who prevented them from entering the newspaper’s offices. The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, also known as UN Women, said on Twitter that it condemned the killing of Escamilla.
“It’s not just Ingrid. There are thousands of femicides,” said Guerrero. “It fills us with anger and rage.” Inside the stately palace, where Lopez Obrador lives with his family, the president attempted to reassure the activists during his morning news conference. La Prensa, which ran the image on its cover, defended its record of reporting on crime and murder, subjects that it said the government prefers to keep quiet. The paper said it was open to discussion on adjusting its standards beyond legal requirements.
