Why did protestors in Puerto Vallarta block the roads to the airport and cause traffic chaos?

Puerto Vallarta (PVDN) – On Friday, protestors in Puerto Vallarta caused disruption by closing a section of Mexico 200, the main highway connecting downtown Puerto Vallarta with the international airport. This led to over 600 tourists missing their flights, and several flights being canceled and delayed. The protests were reportedly over a new state law that requires vehicles to receive emissions tests and certification, which most foreigners do annually with their vehicles. However, the protests have very little to do with emissions and more to do with corruption and politics.
