CNTE Strike Disrupts Mexico City: Teachers Reject Government Proposals

Mexico City faces ongoing disruption as the CNTE teachers' union continues its strike following the rejection of government proposals. The union's demands, which include a 100% salary increase and the repeal of the 2007 ISSSTE law, have led to widespread protests and demonstrations. Government officials have offered a 10% salary increase, but this has been deemed insufficient by the CNTE. "These responses need to go to a vote," stated one CNTE member, highlighting the union's commitment to a democratic decision-making process. The protests have caused significant disruptions, including road blockades and clashes with authorities. The situation remains tense, with the potential for further escalation.
