Truck drivers in central Mexico staged a protest on Tuesday, blocking major highways to demand payment for their work on the government's Maya Train project. The demonstration caused disruptions on highways leading out of Mexico City and in the Yucatan Peninsula, where drivers had been transporting materials for the train line.
President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that subcontractor companies had not paid the drivers due to outstanding debts owed by the government. Sheinbaum assured that payments to the companies had commenced to facilitate the settlement of wages for the drivers.
