What happened
The Chamber of Deputies lost a working day on November 4, 2026, after about 250 retired workers and union members blocked all entrances to the Legislative Palace of San Lázaro. Chamber President Raúl Bolaños-Cacho Cué cancelled the full session and opened talks with the protesters, who were demanding the restoration of benefits that stopped in April 2026. The blockade ended after more than eight hours.

Why it matters
The Chamber of Deputies must approve Mexico’s 2027 federal budget, a process that shapes the peso and the bonds held by US funds. Given that Mexico is a major trading partner of the United States, the budget calendar has broad economic implications.
