MEXICO CITY — A nationwide protest led by the National Association of Truckers (ANTAC) and the National Front for the Rescue of the Countryside (FNRCM) is set to paralyze key transportation routes across Mexico on November 24, 2025, as part of a massive strike demanding government action on agricultural pricing and trade reforms.
The protest, which will also involve farmers and members of the Agrarian Peasant Movement, includes highway blockades and the occupation of customs offices. Organizers announced the mobilization during a press conference outside the National Palace, citing frustration over unfulfilled promises and the need for fair pricing on crops such as corn and beans. They are also calling for revisions to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which they argue has harmed domestic producers.
The planned blockades will affect major federal highways, including:
- Mexico-Puebla-Orizaba (Highway 150D)
- Mexico-Querétaro (Highway 57D)
- Puebla-Veracruz corridor
- Durango-Mazatlán (Highway 40D)
- Chihuahua-Ciudad Juárez (Highway 45D)
- Villahermosa-Campeche-Mérida route (Highway 180D)
While organizers have stated that private vehicles and passenger buses will not be targeted, the movement of cargo and commercial goods will be significantly disrupted. Customs offices at key border crossings, including Nuevo Laredo and Ciudad Juárez, are also expected to be occupied.
Authorities are urging travelers to plan ahead and consider alternative routes. The Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) has announced that federal forces will be deployed to monitor the protests and ensure public safety.
This large-scale mobilization underscores growing tensions between rural sectors and the federal government, with protesters vowing to maintain pressure until their demands are addressed.
