Protests and road blockades disrupt Chilpancingo, Guerrero

Multiple social groups launched protests and blockades in Chilpancingo, Guerrero, causing significant traffic disruptions on the Autopista del Sol and major city avenues.

Approximately 500 indigenous residents from the Tilapa community in Malinaltepec blocked the Autopista del Sol near the Parador del Marqués. They are demanding government assistance to acquire 400 hectares of land for corn cultivation, stating that natural disasters and erosion have rendered their original plots unusable.

Other demonstrations included residents from Ahuacuotzingo demanding teacher assignments at the Government Palace, and citizens from Mexcalcingo requesting the Guerrero Secretary of Education expedite teacher placements. Additionally, over 300 members of the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE) marched to demand service incentives and labor solutions, while workers from the Federal Judiciary also participated in marches on the highway.
