While national transport and peasant unions are carrying out blockades in different states across the country to demand greater security and fairer prices, the coordinator of Morena in the Chamber of Deputies, Ricardo Monreal, confirmed that the ruling party will attend to one of the demands of these sectors and that the water law promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum will be modified. "It is going to be modified." Transporters and peasants block the country to demand security and better prices In this way, the government begins to accept the demands of the mobilized sectors that this Monday are carrying out various cuts on different roads throughout the country. "We must insist on dialogue to seek solutions, we must not get tired because when these types of demonstrations occur, many activities that have nothing to do with the problems raised are affected," he stated. Likewise, the Zacatecan did not confirm when these new modifications could be addressed, but he anticipated that it could happen in the next ten days after the details are defined with the head of Conagua, Efraín Morales, with whom he met this Monday morning. "He has been very sensitive to the demands," recounted Monreal and anticipated that the possible changes will be carried out in a coordinated manner between the Executive and Legislative Branches. As detailed by LPO, one of the demands of the peasantry is the modification of the law promoted by the ruling party and that, if approved, would prohibit the direct transmission between individuals of the concession titles for the use of water, since they would have to be returned to Conagua once the deadlines expire. "It is going to be modified and it will be done for the benefit of water users, in urban areas, industrial, in the field, in well users and in concessions of different nature that take advantage of the nation's water," deepened the officialist coordinator. Transporters and peasants from all over the country carry out road cuts in different states. This same Monday, the Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, and her counterpart from Agriculture, Julio Berdegué, denounced political interests behind the mobilizations. However, Monreal distanced himself from their statements and refused to qualify them as "political demands", so he demanded to attend to and resolve the complaints. In this way, the field guilds denounce that they could be criminalized and that, in addition, they would suffer losses when selling their fields because they would be devalued. This same Monday, Ricardo Monreal stated that "many of the expressions" that were heard in the forums held on this topic "are right," so the 4T will listen to the citizen's demands. "There will be a way for us to meet the demands," assured the legislator. At a press conference, the deputy from Zacatecas—one of the states with the most blockades—confirmed that the Morena parliamentary group will modify the initiative that the head of state already sent to Congress to address one of the demands of the mobilized unions. "The approval will not be the same as the initiative," he declared and added: "Here there will be a deep reflection, nothing about not modifying a single comma."
