The Honorable Mexican Alliance of Transport Organizations A.C. (HAMOTAC) has announced that it will not participate in the mega-blockade scheduled for Monday, April 6, on various country roads. "Our organization states that this movement does not represent the national organized transport, nor does it have the backing or approval of our affiliated base," the statement reads. HAMOTAC recognizes the importance of social expressions that arise in response to the legitimate needs of the country's various productive sectors; however, it reiterates that proposals related to strengthening road transport must be promoted through institutional dialogue mechanisms, permanent coordination with the relevant authorities, and formal dialogue spaces, always prioritizing the responsible defense of the sector's interests. Similarly, the Mexican-American Federation of Transporters (FEMATRAC) has distanced itself from the protests and blockades. It assured that it does not call for, organize, or endorse actions that affect free circulation on federal communication routes or put the safety of operators, users, or the national logistics chain at risk. "Our organization reiterates that the absolute priority is road safety and the safety of the country's states, as well as the protection of those who work daily in cargo and passenger transport." In response to the mega-blockade announced by transporters and peasants for Monday, April 6, the Ministry of the Interior assured that there is no reason to carry it out. The department explained that along with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, they have met with agricultural producers since the last months of 2025 to address their demands. "President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo herself has headed meetings to address and provide short-term and long-term solutions to the needs and demands of basic grain producers due to their low international prices," it was added. It was also mentioned that from November to the present, 3,412 million pesos have been allocated to compensate for grain prices, benefiting over 40,910 producers who have been directly supported. "No one has been denied support," it was stated. Even, it was said, an agreement was reached in favor of Sinaloa producers for the next harvest. It was also added that meetings have been held with various transporter organizations in which the National Guard has participated to address insecurity points on roads, as well as complaints related to procedures. "The majority of organizations have decided not to mobilize. However, without any reason, some maintain their position despite there being no reasons to affect third parties." It was pointed out that the Government of Mexico has been open to dialogue.
Mexican Transporters Condemn Road Blockades
Major Mexican transport organizations HAMOTAC and FEMATRAC condemned the large-scale road blockade announced for April 6, stating they do not support these actions and called for dialogue with authorities to resolve industry issues. The Mexican government, in turn, stated it is ready for negotiations and has already allocated millions to support agricultural producers.
