Transport and Farm Groups Plan Nationwide Blockade in Mexico on Monday at 8 A.M.

Organizers call it a last-resort stoppage following failed talks on highway insecurity.

Overview

  • ANTAC, FNRCM and MAC have scheduled coordinated road closures, customs actions and a transport work stoppage starting at 8:00 a.m. on November 24.
  • At least 25 states are listed to participate with organizers indicating the number could grow as more contingents join during the day.
  • Key corridors flagged include the México–Toluca, México–Querétaro, México–Pachuca, México–Puebla, México–Cuernavaca and México–CuernavacaAcapulco highways, with possible disruptions on major Mexico City avenues.
  • Transport groups cite rampant highway crime—extortion, robberies, kidnappings and violent attacks—and demand streamlined processes for plates, licenses and mandatory medical appointments.
  • Campesino organizations seek stronger state support for agriculture, guaranteed prices, a dedicated rural development bank and exclusion of certain grains from T-MEC review, while industry leaders urge the public and companies to adjust travel and logistics.
