SNTE Building Fire in Mexico City After CNTE Protest

A fire broke out at the SNTE headquarters in Mexico City's historic center on June 5, 2025, following a protest by CNTE teachers. The building was vandalized and looted before being set ablaze. The fire, which started from burning furniture and official objects, produced a large plume of smoke. Firefighters and civil protection teams arrived before 1:30 PM to control the situation. "It's a very serious situation," a reporter stated during a live broadcast, "smoke is still coming out." An eyewitness described the building as having four floors and a ground floor. The protesters left the scene after the fire started, leaving behind the damage. The quick response from emergency services prevented further escalation of the situation.
