The blockades came down a week ago as the particular group of teachers involved decided to take up the federal government's offer of returning to the negotiations if classes resumed. There are threats of more highway blockages, but in Veracruz, as many state government workers have not been paid. The threat of stoppages and slowdowns is in the Xalapa, Veracruz city, and Cordoba-Orizaba corridor. The latter could involve residents of the Zongolica region because of widespread lack of security for residents there. The biggest problem, however, remains the dissatisfied state government workers. Re-routing is not complicated via libre roads which are usually kept open.
