On other occasions these groups have protested with marches from the Angel of Independence to the Zócalo to express their rejection of the current president. The main organization in charge of the movement is Chalecos Mexico, led by Alejandra Morán who has previously called for marches to demand the resignation of López Obrador due to the cancellation of Texcoco Airport.

The march is scheduled at 11:00 a.m. in various parts of the Mexican Republic such as Aguascalientes in Exedra, Cancun at the Glorieta del Ceviche, Mexico City at the Angel of Independence, Leon, Mazatlan, Mérida, Monterrey, Puebla, Querétaro, Saltillo, San Luis Potosi and Veracruz; the coordinator of Futuro 21 hopes that in the capital of the country there are about 50 to 100 thousand people attending the demonstration.

Several Twitter users have proclaimed themselves in favor of this march or against the revocation of the mandate; Javier Lozano posted: “It has been a long time, but a long time, that I have not encountered such an absurd, demagogic and stupid initiative like this one. Fortunately, the gentleman doesn't have the necessary votes. But it is a danger to Mexico”, he also used the hashtag #YoDefiendoAlIne.

Laura Barrera Fortoul also published a tweet where she makes clear her position on the Mandate Revocation: “What I said, next weekend's simulation is just a poorly staged show, the strategy to weaken the INE has been ready months ago,” in the same way she used the hashtag #YoDefiendoAlIne.

On the other hand, supporters of the Fourth Transformation of Puebla are also preparing a march on the same day to promote the revocation of the mandate.
