Fronteras Desk (via KJZZ) reports, “After Mexico’s National Guard successfully removed protesters from toll booths in other states,” President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is promising to end the occupations at Sonoran tollways. “Members of the Sonoran Free Transit Movement have been shutting down the toll booths across the state for more than two years now — arguing that the sometimes hefty fees are unconstitutional.” López Obrador told reporters, “We have just carried out, and it was a success, an operation to liberate the toll booths in Sinaloa. Now we’re coming for Sonora, because it’s the same. And they aren’t just shutting down toll booths, charging, but they threaten people, there is violence. So we’re putting order to the chaos.”
