Mexico is bracing for a nationwide truckers’ blockade on Monday, November 24, 2025, as transport workers and agricultural groups unite to protest rising insecurity and demand better working conditions. The demonstration, organized by the Asociación Nacional de Transportistas (ANTAC), the Frente Nacional para el Rescate del Campo Mexicano (FNRCM), and the Movimiento AgrÃcola Campesino (MAC), is expected to disrupt traffic across major highways and urban corridors.
The protest aims to pressure the federal government, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, into addressing rampant highway violence, extortion, and theft that have plagued transporters and rural producers. Organizers have called on the public to avoid road travel that day, warning of widespread disruptions.
Highways expected to be most affected include:
- Mexico City–Querétaro Highway (Federal 57): A critical route for freight and passenger traffic between the capital and the north.
- Mexico-Puebla-Orizaba Corridor (Federal 150D): A major eastbound artery connecting central Mexico to the Gulf coast.
- Mexico-Toluca Highway (Federal 15D): A key commuter and cargo route between Mexico City and the State of Mexico.
- Circuito Exterior Mexiquense: A vital bypass around the capital, likely to see significant blockades.
- Highways in Veracruz, Jalisco, and Chiapas: Local chapters of the protest movement have announced coordinated actions in these states.
The protest is expected to begin early in the morning and continue throughout the day. Authorities have urged drivers to seek alternative routes and remain informed through official channels.
This mobilization reflects growing frustration among transporters and rural workers, who argue that government promises of improved security and economic support have gone unfulfilled.
