Mexico's Interior Ministry urges dialogue with truckers amid post-Easter blockade threats

Mexico's Interior Ministry (Segob) called for dialogue with truckers and agricultural producers threatening nationwide blockades next Monday after Easter Week 2026. The federal agency stated it addresses their demands through permanent working groups. It highlighted progress on road safety, incentives, and commercialization.

Mexico's Interior Ministry responded to threats of mobilizations, marches, and blockades by truckers and agricultural producers' groups across several states. In a statement, Segob said it has set up direct communication channels and working tables with authorities at various levels to address concerns over extortion, highway robberies, and other issues.

In agriculture, actions were advanced for white corn commercialization in states like Guanajuato, Jalisco, and Michoacán. Progress was also made on incentive payments for wheat and rice crops, streamlining procedures and cutting regulatory burdens.

For truckers, coordinated security operations, inspection point oversight, and digital tools for greater transparency were implemented. Rest areas and monitoring systems were also created on key highway stretches.

"The government of Mexico reiterates its permanent commitment to open, respectful, and institutional dialogue," the authority stated. It urged avoiding protests that harm third parties and emphasized dialogue as essential for lasting solutions.
