Canacar’s Nuevo León delegation said it would join the national freight stoppage scheduled to start Monday, October 26, for an indefinite period, local delegate Melisa Tamez said at a Friday press conference.
Tamez cited cargo theft, extortion and kidnapping, highway conditions, and towing and impound charges as concerns. She said two to three robbery or extortion incidents occur weekly in Nuevo León; that is the delegate’s reported figure, not an independently verified count.
For shippers, the local commitment is clear; the route picture is not. El Financiero reported that Monday blockades were expected on federal highways, urban access roads and logistics corridors in more than 20 states, with State of Mexico routes identified as the main affected area. Its report did not specify closures in Nuevo León.
The national call is not unanimous. Infobae reported that ANTAC withdrew its support, citing unclear demands, while Canacar and HAMOTAC remained associated with the action. Infobae did not report any change in the Nuevo León delegation’s position.
