'Gringos out!': Mexicans protest against tourists and gentrification

In Mexico City, residents are protesting against the influx of tourists and gentrification in their central neighbourhoods. The protesters, chanting "Gringos out!", are expressing their discontent with being priced out of their own communities as property prices and rents skyrocket. The gentrification process has seen many long-term residents forced to move out due to the rising costs, while their neighborhoods are transformed to cater to the needs of wealthier tourists and newcomers. This has led to the displacement of lower-income families and the loss of the area's cultural identity. Protesters argue that the government's focus on promoting tourism and attracting foreign investment has come at the expense of the local population's wellbeing. They demand that measures be taken to address the housing crisis and ensure that the city's development benefits the existing communities rather than displacing them. The issue highlights the tensions between economic growth, urban renewal, and the preservation of the social fabric in Mexico City's historic neighborhoods.
