Sheinbaum Defends Palacio Nacional Barriers Ahead of CNTE Strike and Gen Z March

CNTE schedules a two-day strike focused on a march to Congress with a plantón, denying any plan to block the airport or city entrances.

Overview

  • Metal fences now surround Palacio Nacional and parts of the Zócalo, with streets such as Moneda and Corregidora closed to prevent confrontations and protect the historic site.
  • Claudia Sheinbaum says intelligence pointed to planned blockades by a CNTE group and cites prior violence by infiltrators or “bloques negros” as the reason for the perimeter.
  • CNTE confirms a 48-hour work stoppage for Nov. 13–14 with an early rally at Palacio Nacional, a march to the Congress, and a plantón to push for negotiations.
  • CNTE leader Pedro Hernández rejects claims of airport or highway blockades and distances the union’s action from the Nov. 15 Generación Z demonstration.
  • Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez urges continued dialogue, describes the announced mobilizations as politically tinged, and highlights 22 working tables, multiple meetings with the president, and measures including a 10% salary increase.
