Overview
- Teachers plan to block access to the National Palace from 6 a.m. Thursday and set up a camp in the Zócalo, with caseta takeovers and government office actions announced nationwide.
- CDMX authorities pre-positioned metal fencing around the National Palace and held coordination meetings with federal officials to limit risks during the planned protests.
- Segob said it has held 22 working sessions with the CNTE and highlighted measures such as a May 10% pay raise, frozen retirement ages for ISSSTE teachers, FOVISSSTE relief and the suspension of USICAMM.
- The CNTE says 80% of participating teachers will mobilize in Oaxaca—where specific blockade points were published—while the rest concentrate in Mexico City and other states.
- Organizers list the abrogation of the ISSSTE law and reversal of recent education reforms among core demands, and they warn of broader actions if talks do not advance.
