Ecatepec Blockade Set for Nov. 7 as AMOTAC Name Dispute Clouds Protest

Authorities plan traffic controls following a delegate's complaint that the call misuses AMOTAC's name.

Overview

  • Organizers publicized closures from 8:00 a.m. Friday at the San Cristóbal toll on the México–Pachuca highway, the Texcoco–Lechería route near the Central de Abastos, Avenida López Portillo by the DIF, and the municipal palace area.
  • Notices cite demands for the removal of Ecatepec transit director Luis Enrique Serna García over alleged abuses by municipal officers.
  • Protesters report extortion tied to towing and vehicle releases, claiming tow bills up to 200,000 pesos and recovery payments up to 30,000 pesos.
  • State AMOTAC delegate Carlos Plata disavowed the mobilization, accused Miguel Ángel Santiago Solís of usurping the association’s name, and said a complaint was filed with the FGJEM.
  • State and municipal authorities prepared traffic‑redirection operations as AMOTAC messages characterized the action as peaceful and apologized for expected disruptions.
