Overview

• On the morning of July 23, ACME members blocked six major toll booths—Mexico–Querétaro, Mexico–Toluca, Mexico–Pachuca, Mexico–Puebla, Mexico–Cuernavaca and Peñón–Texcoco—causing multi-kilometer congestion on key autopistas.
• Protesters are calling for the safe return of Bernardo Aldana, ACME’s coordinator in Jilotepec, who was allegedly abducted by armed men after refusing to pay an extortion demand.
• The Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana and C5 are issuing live detour notifications via social media to advise drivers of affected routes and alternate paths.
• Authorities have the option to deploy uniformed officers at blockade sites to direct traffic flow and ensure the safety of both motorists and demonstrators.
• The blockade follows the city’s new mobilization-schedule framework that integrates routine marches and community events into traffic planning amid summer vacations and vehicle restrictions.
