“Bikers in Quintana Roo Fight Back Against Vest Law Enforcement”

Bikers in Quintana Roo have successfully postponed the immediate enforcement of changes to the Mobility Law until substantial agreements are reached through ongoing discussions. However, they plan to start applying for legal protection to safeguard their rights starting next Monday.

A meeting was held at the C5 Security Complex in Cancun, led by Government Secretary, Cristina Torres Gómez. A record of the meeting detailed the following agreements:

• Delayed Enforcement of Reforms: The changes to the law will not be enforced until a specific program and regulation are jointly developed by the authorities and bikers.
• Prioritizing Dialogue and Avoiding Protests: It was decided to prioritize discussions and avoid actions that could negatively impact citizens, such as the suspension of protests.
• Launching Awareness and Regularization Campaigns: Initiatives will be launched to encourage the proper use of motorcycles and the regularization of the state registry of bikers, in collaboration with various clubs and associations.

Cristina Torres, along with other state officials, agreed to enhance monitoring and regulation operations for bikers through collaboration between municipal transit departments and the Quintana Roo Mobility Institute. The goal is to ensure that bikers' documentation and regularization are in order.

Despite these developments, Victor Pérez Sorcia, president of the Chetumal Bikers Club, noted that they did not achieve the abolition of Article 2128 BIS of the Mobility Law, a primary goal of the bikers. However, it is hoped that these discussions will provide time to develop a more balanced agreement.

While the delay of the reforms is a positive step, bikers have decided to appeal for protection starting next Monday, with a deadline of September 4. This deadline was set following the enforcement of the reform on July 25 of this year. Victor Pérez Sorcia warned that if the previous agreements are not met by the State Government, bikers will resume protests, including blocking access to airports and setting up roadblocks.
