Truck drivers suspend national strike after agreement with Interior Ministry

Kiswahili

The Alianza Mexicana de Organización de Transportistas (AMOTAC) suspended the national strike planned for June 24, 2026, after reaching an agreement with the Secretaría de Gobernación.

The Secretaría de Gobernación reported that the truck drivers committed not to carry out road blockades on June 24. The agreement was reached in a meeting on June 23 with the Alianza Mexicana de Organización de Transportistas A.C.

Key demands include highway security and an end to extortion. Authorities recalled more than 300 prior meetings with the sector to address these issues.

The Asociación Nacional de Transportistas (ANTAC) did not join the mobilizations and criticized AMOTAC for its actions. The federal government announced the creation of a specialized C5 center to monitor highways.
