In central Mexico, San José Cathedral in Toluca was another of the churches attacked by feminist groups, who placed a green cloth — the color adopted by the abortion movement — on its exterior gate. Some of the statues in niches in the cathedral’s outside walls were also vandalized.

In Morelos, also in the central region, videos were posted on social media showing people trying, without success, to tear down the protective fencing in front of the Cuernavaca Cathedral.
