In a video shared on social media, spokespeople for the movement stated that the government has not fulfilled promises to strengthen security, which directly impacts their daily activities. Additionally, protesters demand structural improvements such as well-maintained roads, a reduction in the diesel tax, fair tariffs, the elimination of extortion, and support mechanisms for the families of operators. At the same time, they denounce that current conditions favor large fleets and shipping companies. This discontent is compounded by rising insecurity on roads, one of the main triggers for the protest. Transporters from different regions of the country have called for a national strike and megablockades for this April 6th, protesting insecurity on roads and a modernization program that they say threatens the survival of drivers and members of the guild. They also called on the public to take precautions and anticipate travel due to possible road disruptions. When will the megablockade begin? The mobilization, driven by the National Transporters Association (ANTAC), is scheduled to start around 7:00 a.m. and could affect key access points to Mexico City, as well as roadways in states such as Jalisco, Puebla, and Veracruz, in addition to border crossings in Ciudad Juárez and Sonora. According to a statement issued by ANTAC, the guild accuses the federal government's modernization proposal of not considering the economic reality of thousands of independent operators. 'As it is proposed, this program does not strengthen the trucker, it condemns him to disappear,' the organization states. Transporters and farmers maintain the call for a national strike. There will be a megablockade on Monday, April 6th. They denounce government non-compliance on security. Transporters denounce exclusion. Transporters maintain that, although they do not oppose the modernization of the sector, they reject that it implies the exclusion of small owners in favor of large companies.
