In various meeting points, strong settlements have been reported due to the transporters' demonstrations. Among the recommended alternative routes to avoid the Tepotzotlán toll booth are the old highway to Cuautitlán, the Mexiquense Outer Circuit, secondary streets in the La Joya neighborhood, and the industrial zone. The Mobility Secretariat of the State of Mexico reported that transporters blocked lanes of the Mexico-Querétaro highway in Tepotzotlán, generating a queue of up to 5 kilometers.
Transporters are negotiating with the authorities of the State of Mexico in Bucareli and have assured that there will be no blockades at other mentioned points. This Monday, they will carry out a mega march towards the capital Zócalo, which is expected to affect the main roads connecting the State of Mexico with Mexico City. The Union of Transporters, Merchants, and Entrepreneurs of the Mexican Republic has called for this mobilization as a protest against abuses and extortion in the State of Mexico.
In their call, the transporters explain that they are subject to false accusations, extortion, and fabrication of crimes by the Edomex Prosecutor's Office, undermining their right to work with dignity and security. They invite recently affected barbers to join the march, as well as merchants, entrepreneurs, and citizens who are victims of abuses and extortion. The protesters are heading to the Zócalo of Mexico City, occupying side and central lanes, causing severe traffic problems.
The starting points of the mega march are the Iron Bridge in Ecatepec, the Mexico-Querétaro toll booth in Tepotzotlán, the Mexico-Cuernavaca toll booths, Ignacio Zaragoza in Cabeza de Juárez, and La Marquesa on Mexico-Toluca. The destination of the march is the Government Palace in Mexico City. Patience and caution are recommended on these affected roadways!
