As the president's vehicle moved slowly through the crowd, protesters chanted "Justice for Danna!" and "Free Danna!" One woman used a megaphone to call out, "Justice, Madam President, we Tamaulipas residents are tired of this injustice. Enough corruption, Madam President!" Another voice added, "Madam President, we voted for you, we want justice."

Large banners displayed messages such as "Justice and freedom for Danna Yanina #NiUnaMรกs #NoMรกsPresosInocentes" and "Madam President of the Republic Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, we ask for your immediate intervention!" The parents of Danna Yanina "N" managed to enter the event venue, holding a poster-sized photograph of their daughter with the message: "Corrupt people, justice for Danna, you are not alone."

Danna Yanina "N" is among three individuals detained in the Altamira prison, accused of the femicide of teenager Dafne Zapata Quintos. Dafne died on the night of July 16th during a summer course at the Doenitz Militarized Academy in Ciudad Madero.
