Overview
- CNTE has sustained coordinated national actions that have blocked roads and disrupted border crossings and city traffic, producing delays and local confrontations.
- Federal negotiators presented a staged 'ruta de trabajo' that proposes strengthening PENSIONISSSTE, changing teacher promotion rules, and carrying out legal analysis of pension and labour claims.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly rejected any order to evict protesters and accused some demonstrators of seeking to provoke a police response for political gain.
- Authorities have used non‑coercive containment measures, including metal barriers in Mexico City’s Historic Center, and say masked participants and isolated vandalism complicate negotiations.
- The CNTE demands the repeal of the 2007 ISSSTE law and broad pension, promotion and wage changes, and the government says fiscal limits require partial, staged solutions while talks continue.
