In the midst of blockades organized by transporters and farmers, President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that there is no reason for the mobilizations and warned that 'resources are not infinite' to meet their demands. The president assured that the various requests from these protesting groups have been addressed by the corresponding agencies. The president said that both requests have been handled by the National Guard and the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transport, respectively. Regarding the farmers' issue, Sheinbaum explained that some products are not in compliance with agreements reached until November and acknowledged that some objectives, such as grain buyers prioritizing the Mexican market over imports, have not yet been fully met. She also stated that from November to the present, the government has allocated 400 million pesos in support to 45,000 producers to compensate for the drop in seed prices. She questioned and added that 'resources are not infinite to support the amounts they want.' Around 07:00 this morning, the protesting groups began blockades in at least 20 states of the country. Additionally, she announced that some farmers are demanding the removal of corn and other grains from the USMCA, which she considered more complex. Under this scenario, Sheinbaum insisted that 'there is dialogue, openness, we are supporting, helping as much as possible,' although at the close of her conference, she did not offer certainty about the end of these blockades. The National Association of Transporters (ANTAC) confirmed that the mobilization will be maintained indefinitely, depending on the negotiations reached with the federal government and state authorities. Transporters demand greater security on roads, as well as speeding up the procedures they need for circulation. 'Why are they mobilizing if there is an open dialogue?'
