Overview
- About 180 students from the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional briefly blocked main entrances to the Chamber of Deputies, burning chiles to send smoke toward the complex.
- Legislative leaders said students will be received by lawmakers, with the Education Commission prioritized, and a meeting set next week to review the rector’s situation.
- An initial human chain near the Candelaria Metro entrance was removed by Chamber security and National Guard personnel before the group shifted tactics.
- Students later blocked Avenida Eduardo Molina, Emiliano Zapata, and Eje 2 Oriente for a few minutes, citing an alleged aggression against a student named Jimena.
- The action extends an indefinite strike now at least 26 days old, with demands that include removing rector Rosa María Torres Hernández, fixing infrastructure, reinstating scholarships, and resolving academic and administrative issues.
