“Not one more, not one more, not one more bike”, is one of the slogans that has taken on the greatest presence in recent weeks. So far this year, at least five cyclists have died in road accidents. However, impunity has been the only constant in these cases.

After a few minutes, the cyclists got the exit of two official SEMOVI. According to a live broadcast from the @repartidorr Twitter account, the authorities have offered to set up dialogue tables. However, The protesters denied its usefulness and demanded the resignation of Andrés Lajous Loaeza, secretary of mobility, as well as the guarantee of compliance with the points established in the application form:

– Resignation of the Executive Director of Culture of Mobility, Mayra Alejandra Cabrera.

– Return of photomultas.

– Lower the speed limit to 50 kilometers per hour on controlled access roads

After failing to reach an agreement with the secretariat authorities, the group of demonstrators mobilized again. In this way, they circulated through Axis 1 Poniente. Along the way, they mobilized badly parked cars and continued to utter their slogans. However, they resettled when they arrived at the crossroads with the “Miguel Alemán” viaduct, in front of the “Parque Delta” shopping center..

They immediately blocked the road and started painting the walls with the captions. “A life goes on by bike”, “assassins”, “ACAB”, “Lajous resignation”, “Justice”, “Government of Ecocida”. Likewise, on the asphalt of the road, they wrote the word justice along the three lanes and they drew the outline of a bicycle which they would later set on fire in protest.

Subsequently, the central tracks of the viaduct were released, although they continued their journey towards the tracks located on Eje 1 Poniente, where they did a brief crash. However, later they continued their passage down the avenue.
