Protests close parts of Reforma and Juárez avenues in Mexico City
Demonstrators disrupted traffic on Saturday in central Mexico City.
They closed parts of Paseo de la Reforma and Avenida Juárez, including roads near the Hemiciclo a Juárez monument.
Some closures affected both directions of Reforma, while at other times its central lanes reopened and protesters remained on the side lanes.
The protest also caused intermittent blockages at Gabriel Mancera and Eje 4 Sur in the Benito Juárez borough.
These disruptions meant drivers had to use other roads to travel through the area.
Suggested alternatives included Avenida Chapultepec, Circuito Interior, Ribera de San Cosme, Artículo 123 and Eje 1 Norte.
The closures changed during the day as the march moved and traffic was restored on some sections.
