VOICED : Marchan en Mexico contra fuerte aumento de combustibles

The video discusses the protests in Mexico City against the government's decision to increase fuel prices, which took effect at the start of the new year. The price of gasoline rose by 20.1% and diesel by 16.5% as part of a broader energy reform initiated by President Enrique Peña Nieto in 2014. These protests spread across the country, with roadblocks reported, including on the highway to Querétaro. Panic buying of fuel occurred on the last night of 2016, with long queues at gas stations. The liberalization of fuel prices and the entry of private firms into the market, ending Pemex's monopoly, was originally planned for 2018 but was brought forward by the government.
