Overview
- Before dawn, CNTE contingents massed at the Zócalo and tried to push down metal fences on Moneda and Correo Mayor, prompting police to reinforce perimeters and use dispersal measures.
- After the standoff near the National Palace, marchers headed to San Lázaro and began a camp-in outside the Chamber of Deputies that organizers say will continue through Friday.
- Mexico City’s Metro shut Zócalo-Tenochtitlán, Allende and Pino Suárez stations for security, and authorities reported extensive traffic closures across the historic center.
- Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez renewed calls for peaceful dialogue, while President Claudia Sheinbaum questioned the protest’s necessity and cited ongoing talks and limits on scrapping the pension law.
- Sections coordinated actions in several states, including mass takeovers of municipal palaces in Michoacán and planned toll-booth liberations, as CNTE leaders rejected federal offers and threatened to escalate if unmet.
