Mexico teachers blocked from Zocalo during protest over labour and pension reforms
Striking teachers in Mexico City were blocked from entering the Zocalo and set up camp in nearby streets.
Police prevented members of the CNTE (National Coordinator of Education Workers) from reaching the main square, leading protesters to establish an encampment elsewhere while continuing their demonstrations. Teachers are demanding the repeal of education and pension reforms, which they say harm their labour rights and salaries. They vowed to maintain the protest until the government responds, as part of a broader mobilisation ahead of a planned national strike.
