Ayotzinapa Graduates Protest at Guerrero State Palace to Demand Teaching Posts

State officials say the appointments await a federal process.

Overview

  • Dozens gathered outside the Chilpancingo government complex after arriving in four buses accompanied by current normal school students.
  • The group rerouted from the city’s south entrance to the state palace, reaching the site around 9:30 a.m. as a flag ceremony was underway.
  • Subsecretary Francisco Rodríguez Cisneros told protesters the teacher-assignment process remains unfinished and is handled by the federal Education Ministry.
  • He said Guerrero’s education secretary, Ricardo Castillo Peña, is in Mexico City pursuing placements for state teachers while the state offers to mediate.
  • Separately, CECyTE employees kept up a protest at the same plaza for more than ten days seeking the director’s removal and overdue salary increases.
