CNTE Teachers Will Blockade Mexico City’s Reforma

Mexico City. Teachers from the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) are gathering near El Caballito, where they will block Paseo de la Reforma avenue.
The protesting teachers indicated that as part of their 72-hour National Strike, they agreed early this morning at their National Representative Assembly to continue protesting the federal government’s failure to comply with agreements reached in tripartite meetings and to demand the repeal of the 2007 ISSSTE Law.
At this time, dozens of teachers remain in the vicinity of El Caballito, awaiting the national leadership, which announced a press conference.
Minutes before 9:30 a.m., dozens of dissident teachers blocked both directions of Paseo de la Reforma at the corner of Avenida Juárez and Bucareli. Vehicular traffic was also suspended on Avenida Guerrero, so there is no traffic from the Atemajac roundabout to past the Hidalgo metro station.

What happened doesn’t appear to be an “exception.” What’s at stake is a question of sovereignty & the difficult relationship with the US. With Chihuahua’s governor remaining silent, many questions remain unanswered.
