Mexico: Transport workers to block multiple highways across Mexico State March 13. Traffic disruptions likely in Mexico City

Transport workers will stage roadblocks on multiple highways and thoroughfares across Mexico State on March 13. The purpose of the action is to denounce the recent release of Emmanuel "N," who is reportedly responsible for numerous crimes committed against members of the transport sector. These roadblocks will almost certainly lead to significant transport disruptions throughout Mexico State and disrupt traffic entering and exiting Mexico City. Organizers did not provide details of how long the blockades would last or the exact points where vehicles would be staged. However, reports indicate the blockades will start at 08:30. Additionally, organizers have stated the following roadways will be blocked:

• Mexico-Puebla Highway

• Mexico-Pachuca Highway

• Circuito Exterior Mexiquense

• Perferico Bordo de Xochiaca

• Mexico-Los Reyes Free Highway

• Mexico-Texcoco Highway

• Avenida Bordo de Xochiaca near Nezahualcoyotl and Chimalhuacan

Authorities will likely maintain a heightened security presence near demonstrations as a precaution. Clashes are possible if security forces try to disperse protesters.
