The SSPCE confirmed the presence of demonstrators at five road points. Each area is operating with varying levels of impact. These are the roads affected today by blockades from farmers and transporters in San Luis Potosí:

• 1. Posta / Road to Zacatecas This critical point is experiencing partial impact. The blockade is intermittent. State Civil Guard operations are maintaining fluid traffic and reducing risks for motorists.

Farmer and Transporter Blockades Persist in the Four Regions of San Luis Potosí

The national mega-blockade also included the active participation of farmers from the Huasteca region in San Luis Potosí, including the municipality of Ébano, where the Valles-Tampico highway is closed near the community of Casas Blancas, between the municipalities of Tamuín and Ébano. These brigades were formed over the weekend to address the groups that initiated road closures in the Central zone, on the superhighway and the junction towards Ciudad Valles, where discussions are ongoing. Another blockade was established on the road to Villa de Arriaga, at the junction towards the Águila community, while on the road to Zacatecas, near the La Posta gas station, dialogue allowed only the inbound lane to be affected.
