Puebla and Mexico City face road blockades due to protests
Major road blockades in Puebla and Mexico City have caused significant traffic disruptions following separate protests.
In Puebla, relatives of inmates at the San Miguel prison (Cereso) blocked eight strategic points, including the Mexico-Puebla highway and Vía Atlixcáyotl. The protesters alleged extortion, illegal fees, and threats against inmates, demanding the removal of prison director Jorge Ortiz Delgadillo. Authorities reported that the blockades, which included the burning of tires, were cleared after government officials reached an agreement with the demonstrators.
In Mexico City, delivery workers from the Plataformas Unidas del Poniente collective blocked key areas in Santa Fe, including the Mexico-Toluca highway and Avenida Vasco de Quiroga. The workers are protesting against new regulations proposed by the Secretariat of Mobility (Semovi), which would require motorcycle delivery drivers to obtain specific commercial plates and specialized licenses. The protesters warned of further actions if their demands regarding these economic and administrative burdens are not met.
