Mexico’s Anti-Imperialist Wave Expands as Venezuela Intervention Triggers Protests
Protests are swelling across Mexico, led by Puebla’s anti-imperialist front, after US intervention in Venezuela; tens of thousands blocked a major highway on Jan 21 and solidarity has grown in Guanajuato, Sinaloa, and beyond, uniting unions, Indigenous groups, students and housing-rights activists. Activists say Trump’s threats to strike cartels signal possible U.S. militarization of Mexico and view the intervention as part of a broader imperial project, criticizing USMCA and transnationals as drivers of displacement, inequality and environmental harm, while calling for international solidarity and boycotts linked to the World Cup.
