Protest by Tula plant workers in response to power cut

Mexico: A group of approximately 400 former workers of Cooperativa la Cruz Azul, who maintain possession of the Tula cement plant in Hidalgo, staged a demonstration on 22 August 2022 in front of the offices of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) demanding that power to the plant be reinstated.

Through a press release, the CFE said that it had met with some of the protesters. After negotiations, it concluded that the reconnection of the plant "will be made as soon as notification is received from the court or competent authority."

Local reports have suggested that the cut was ordered on 17 August 2022 by Víctor Manuel Velázquez Rangel, who heads the Board of Directors of the Cooperativa la Cruz Azul, the legal owner of the plant. The justification was that the plant has become dangerous to operate after two years of occupation by the protestors.
