Overview
- The blockade, lifted late Tuesday after roughly 39 to 40 hours, ended when protesters accepted a pledge to convene the Territorial Limits Commission and bring the case to a plenary vote.
- At issue are about 800 to 850 hectares near the airport, and protest leaders say a January draft would award roughly 700 of those hectares to Tonanitla.
- Closures on the Camino Libre Tonanitla–AIFA, Boulevard Ojo de Agua and the Puente de Fierro access choked traffic across nearby towns and delayed many travelers, as state transport officials advised detours via the México–Pachuca highway and the Circuito Exterior Mexiquense.
- Mayor Mauro Martínez warned the group will return to the roads if today’s commission call does not issue or if an expected Friday vote does not occur.
- The dispute now moves through a state process in which the commission advances a boundary ruling for a vote by the State of Mexico Congress, a step that has lagged as AIFA-linked projects raised the stakes for both municipalities.
