AMOTAC will not block highways on June 24th, but there will be a demonstration. After a new strike was announced in 30 states across the country due to the high levels of insecurity on the highways, the Mexican Alliance of Transportation Organizations (AMOTAC) and the Ministry of the Interior (Segob) agreed that there will be no blockades.
“The working group meeting at the @SEGOB_mx with the leaders of the AMOTAC transport organization has concluded. They committed to ensuring there will be no road blockades on the country’s highways on the 24th,” reads a message on the Segob X account at 10:32 p.m. this Tuesday.
In this message, the official agency states that they have held more than 300 meetings during this administration , following up on agreements and making significant progress for the carriers.
In addition to the above, Segob asserts that they have given timely responses to their requests and that a work plan is in place.
Through a social media message, Rafael Pacheco, president of AMOTAC Nacional, sent a message calling on transporters to take to the highways to demonstrate starting at 8:00 a.m. on June 24 , “without blocking, until we receive a document that was promised by the Ministry of the Interior, we will not lift the presence of trucks.”
The leader also specified that the presence of Omar García Harfuch, head of the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection of Mexico, had been promised.
According to AMOTAC, its members will be present at the main highway access points to Mexico City, but also nationwide in 30 states , affecting the main national corridors.
The National Association of Private Transportation (ANTP) stated in a press release that in a democratic society, it is essential to recognize and respect the right of individuals and organizations to express their demands and concerns.
“However, it is also necessary to consider the impact that certain actions can have on millions of citizens who depend on mobility daily to work, study, access health services and sustain the well-being of their families,” the document reads.
One of the messages that ANTP is putting forward is that, within the framework of the FIFA World Cup 2026 celebration, efficient mobility and the continuous functioning of supply chains are essential elements to guarantee the supply of food, medicines, fuels and essential inputs for the population and economic activity.
