CNTE Sets Nov. 13–14 National Strike, Threatens World Cup Disruption

The action presses for rollback of pension and career rules viewed as eroding job security.

Overview

  • Dissident teachers plan to encircle the National Palace during President Claudia Sheinbaum’s morning briefing on Nov. 13, then march to the Chamber of Deputies to set up a protest camp.
  • Coordinated protests will be replicated in multiple states with marches, highway blockades and the liberation of toll booths.
  • The CNTE demands the abrogation of the 2007 ISSSTE law and the Usicamm career system, as well as increased funding for education, health and social security.
  • The group warned the federal government that failure to address its demands could lead to actions affecting preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
  • Next steps include a Conference of the Resistances on Nov. 15 and another national assembly on Nov. 22, with a 72-hour national strike under evaluation.
