MEXICO: Teachers challenge Sheinbaum
Teachers affiliated with Mexico’s influential Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE) union took to the streets across Mexico City (CDMX) from 19-21 March, disrupting traffic in the city centre and blocking access points to the city’s international airport. The protests came despite President Claudia Sheinbaum withdrawing a reform to the federal public workers’ social security institute (ISSSTE), which she had submitted on 7 February, and which had caused consternation among teachers’ unions. The protests indicate that the CNTE is continuing the combative attitude it took for much of the presidency of Sheinbaum’s predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024).
