Protest Erupts in Mexico City Over Homeopathy School Closure, Migrant Shelter Plan

Mexico City residents protested the recent closure of the historic Escuela Libre de Homeopatía, a homeopathic school in the Morelos neighborhood, which is slated to be converted into a migrant shelter. The protest, which involved significant numbers of people, included blockades and a tense standoff with police. One protester stated, "They can't just shut down a community hospital that provided essential care!" Authorities countered that the building was abandoned and occupied illegally, making it suitable for repurposing. The clash highlights the complex issues of immigration, community healthcare, and the preservation of historical buildings in Mexico City. The situation remains unresolved, with protesters demanding intervention from Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum.
