Farmers and truckers across Mexico staged major road blockades on Monday, disrupting highways and key transport routes as frustration mounts over a proposed federal water law, soaring production costs, and deteriorating security conditions. Demonstrators used tractors, trucks, and farm machinery to obstruct access in several states, warning that their livelihoods are under threat and accusing the government of ignoring rural communities.
Protest organizers say the new water law would restrict access to crucial resources for agricultural regions already struggling with drought, while rising fuel and fertilizer prices have pushed producers to the brink. Many participants also highlighted escalating violence in rural areas, arguing that authorities have failed to protect workers from extortion, theft, and cartel-related attacks.
