Overview
- FNLS-linked demonstrators on Monday burned several delivery trucks and set up intermittent roadblocks across northern Veracruz’s Huasteca, stalling travel and freight.
- Governor Rocío Nahle confirmed the arsons and closures and said they are crimes, as the state prosecutor’s office and public security force deployed operations.
- Authorities said participants fled toward Hidalgo after the truck burnings, and Veracruz requested coordination with that state to find them.
- The most severe disruption hit the San Diego–Chapopote stretch near Chalma, with more closures by Oxitempa, Tenexco, Terrerillos and on the San Sebastián–Chicontepec road.
- The actions marked the fifth anniversary of Higinio Bustos Navarro’s detention, with supporters demanding his release as he serves a 20-year sentence for a 2008 homicide and as sympathizers rallied in Xalapa.
