[Mexico] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 29, 2025, members of a shared taxi collective staged a peaceful protest in Puebla, Mexico, demanding reinstatement of protective measures for their vehicles and opposing municipal operations to remove taxis from parts of the city. The demonstration occurred at the central Zocalo plaza with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If confirmed and if protests expand, localized disruptions to urban transport networks in Puebla could affect last-mile delivery services and worker mobility, but impacts would likely remain contained to the immediate metropolitan area.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or spread of taxi operator protests to other Mexican cities
• Track any municipal policy changes regarding shared taxi operations that could affect urban logistics networks
