MEXICO CITY — Despite forecasts of protests throughout the city, incidents reported in Mexico City during the opening of the World Cup were limited to acts of vandalism and confrontations with riot police involving about 200 people, according to the capital's security department. Only one 28-year-old woman was arrested and released shortly after, the department stated on its official X account. However, Mexican media documented in detail the events occurring at various points in the Mexican capital where different groups were expected to head towards the vicinity of Azteca Stadium. A video that went viral early Thursday showed a mother searching for her missing child kneeling before police during an operation that prevented her from advancing in her protest over the crisis of disappearances, and the touching reaction of one of the officers, who, however, did not move an inch.
