The Guanajuato Agricultural Improvement Committee (Comité Pro-Mejoración del Agro Guanajuato A.C.) announced the suspension of the mobilization it had planned for Monday, April 20, after reaching a series of agreements with federal authorities. The organization stated that it opted to prioritize institutional dialogue over street protests.
In a statement dated April 17, 2026, addressed “to the general public,” the organization reported that the decision was made after establishing commitments with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the National Water Commission (Conagua), the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), the Ministry of the Interior (Secretaría del Interior), and the Office of the President of Mexico.
In Guanajuato, heat waves are already being felt with increasing intensity in anticipation of the possible arrival of El Niño in 2026, making this a significant development. “We have decided to suspend the mobilization planned for Monday, April 20, 2026, prioritizing institutional channels and formal dialogue,” the committee stated in the document, in which it emphasized the openness shown by federal agencies in establishing working groups and following up on the sector’s proposals.
However, the organization made it clear that it will remain vigilant. “While there is still no certainty that the commitments will be fully met and within the established deadlines, our members will remain attentive, organized, and in constant communication,” it warned, while reiterating that any future demands will be made “firmly, peacefully, and within the framework of the law.”
