Overview
- Mexico’s transport authority reported continuing farmer-led blockades across federal highways and toll plazas in states including Sinaloa, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Michoacán, Estado de México, Hidalgo and Tlaxcala.
- At the Zinapécuaro toll plaza on the Maravatío–Zapotlanejo route, officials estimated 3,978 vehicles held with queues stretching up to 30 kilometers early Friday.
- Producers in Michoacán allowed free passage without tolls at Ecuandureo and Panindícuaro and intermittently eased the Zinapécuaro closure, pledging to keep “plumas alzadas” through the holiday weekend.
- The federal offer accepted in some states sets a 6,050‑peso reference price for white maize plus 950 pesos per ton in support, but groups in Sinaloa rejected it and threatened broader actions, including targeting border customs and resuming protests on November 5.
- Authorities urged dialogue and the clearing of routes for holiday travel, with President Claudia Sheinbaum citing ongoing talks and Michoacán officials acknowledging tourism losses from the gridlock.
