Periférico Reopens After UPN Student Protest; Earlier Sonidero Action Also Blocks Key Artery

Students are pressing unresolved campus demands that include the rector’s resignation.

Overview

  • UPN Plantel Ajusco students shut both directions of Periférico Sur at Picacho Ajusco in the late afternoon, closing central and lateral lanes.
  • City agencies warned drivers and directed traffic to Camino a Santa Teresa, Boulevard de la Luz, Eje 10 Sur and Avenida Insurgentes during the closure.
  • Around 5 p.m. the student group lifted the blockade and moved toward the UPN campus in southern Mexico City.
  • The university stated it is available for an open, transparent dialogue, noting some student requests are already under discussion.
  • Earlier in the day a separate group of about 30 sonideros briefly blocked Periférico near Calle 10 in Álvaro Obregón before officials negotiated a clearance.
