translated from Spanish: Taxi drivers will demonstrate the counter-transport applications

The National Movement of Taxilists (MNT) will again speak on Monday, October 7, in 28 entities in the country, including Mexico City, against transportation that lacks concessions and provides service via digital applications.
According to Bersaín Miranda, president of the group, some 150 thousand affiliates are expected to participate who will not make blockades, as it is a shoot in protest for non-compliance with agreements.
At a press conference in the Capital Zocalo, the leader accused the head of government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, as well as the governor of the State of Mexico, Alfredo del Mazo, of privileging piracy in public transport and illegality, rather than support regulated and concessional transport.

The leader of the taxi drivers said that they maintain their stance against the granting of taxi service in private vehicles and not in those who meet the payment of magazines, plates and taximeters, and that in advance the logistics will be made known , mobilization schedules and routes.
Last June, dozens of taxi drivers from the National Taxi Movement and other groups began their protests, demanding that there are unequal conditions and discrimination by the authorities towards taxi dealers, according to them giving privileges to services that work through applications, in terms of formalities and fines, as reported by Notimex.
