Protesters Obstruct Autopista del Sol and Acapulco-Mexico Highway, Demanding Enhanced Safety in Local Neighborhoods
Protest Blocks Major Highways in Chilpancingo
Residents in the Valley of El Ocotito, Chilpancingo, have blocked the Sun Highway and the Acapulco-Mexico federal highway, demanding resolution to local grievances. The protest took place around 10 am at the height of the El Ocotito community.
The residents' demands include addressing security issues, an end to the disappearances of people, and surveillance for public transportation from the Valley of El Ocotito to Chilpancingo. However, no further details about the nature of the security concerns or the disappearances were provided.
Merchants from localities in the area have also closed their businesses as part of the protest. The blockade on the Sun Highway has resulted in the closure of circulation in both lanes. Residents on the Sun Highway bridges displayed banners reading "Our blockade in support of the families disappeared in the Sierra due to the attacks of the Tlacos."
Another banner addressed the President of the Republic, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, requesting an investigation into Francisco Rodríguez Cisneros, the subsecretary of political and social affairs of the state government, for alleged links with the criminal organization Los Tlacos.
The connection between Los Tlacos and the protesters, or the federal government, has not been explicitly detailed in accessible sources. However, there are claims that Los Tlacos are politically involved or aligned with the president, though details on this connection remain vague.
This incident reflects ongoing social and political tensions in the area, often related to violence, governance, and local power groups. The exact nature of Los Tlacos' relationship with the protesters or the federal government remains unclear.
