Mexico: Protesters erect blockades, disrupt transport in Mexico City Oct. 25

Event

Members of the National Assembly of Electric Power Users (Asamblea Nacional de Usuarios de Energia Electrica) have blocked Circuito Interior Jose Vasconcelos in Mexico City Oct 25. Protesters are demanding fair prices for electricity. The action has led to heavy traffic congestion in both directions of the Circuito Interior.

Authorities will likely deploy to monitor and manage roadblocks. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, especially if authorities attempt to forcibly disperse the demonstration. Transport and business disruptions are highly likely over the coming hours.

Advice

Avoid all protests. Do not attempt to cross protester roadblocks; wait for the police to remove them. Seek alternative routes and allow additional time to reach destinations.
