CNTE and MMCRE Stage Megamarch, Block Highways Linking Mexico City and Edomex

Teachers demanded talks with Governor Delfina Gómez on pay, staffing, school repairs, ISSEMYM care and recognition of schools without official keys.

Overview

  • Actions began around 11:00 with blockades on the México–Puebla, México–Pachuca and México–Texcoco routes and a rally in Toluca’s Plaza de los Mártires.
  • Protesters seized the San Marcos toll plaza on the México–Puebla highway and allowed vehicles to pass without paying as toll collection was suspended.
  • A blockade at Puente de Fierro in Ecatepec occupied Vía Morelos and led to a temporary halt of Mexibús lines 2 and 4, according to local reports.
  • City and state authorities deployed traffic and security operations, issued real-time advisories through the SSC and C5, and directed drivers to alternate routes.
  • Separately, a transport operators’ union announced planned blockades for October 22 at the Tepotzotlán, Ecatepec and San Marcos toll points and protests at federal transport offices.
