Mexico: Protests in Tlalnepantla and Toluca on 17 January

Civil groups have called for protests in Tlalnepantla and Toluca (both in the State of Mexico) on 17 January against a recent increase in public transportation fares. In Tlalnepantla, participants will gather at Avenue Gustavo Baz at 09:00 (local time). In Toluca, a protest is scheduled at Cosmovitral building at 15:00.

Advice

Both the events are likely to be well-attended and will cause localized travel disruption. Plan routes bypassing the protest venues to avoid inconvenience. To minimize safety risks, avoid areas of large public gatherings or protests. Even events intended to be peaceful can escalate unexpectedly and quickly become violent.
