For the third consecutive day, the teaching movement of the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) collapses Oaxaca and Chiapas with blockades in different parts of the states, while in Mexico City they allow free passage in some Metro stations.

In Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, CNTE teachers took over at least 12 gas stations and distributed free fuel to motorists.

Meanwhile in Oaxaca, teachers from section 22 of the CNTE blocked access to the “Benito Juárez” international airport this Wednesday, where they had an attempted confrontation against a group of taxi drivers and subjects dressed in black.

The subjects, with machetes, bats and sticks, all wearing black shirts, arrived at the diversion to the community of San Juan Bautista La Raya and the main entrance to the capital’s airport, and warned the teachers that if they did not leave they would be to evict with blows; to which the teachers sent alert messages in their WhatsApp group.

This incident was recorded at one of the five points blocked at the entrances to the capital of Oaxaca since last May 20.

The teachers expanded their protest to the Judicial and Administrative cities, located in the towns of Reyes Mantecón and Tlalixtac de Cabrera, where some 9,000 state government employees work, for which the union of bureaucrats announced the suspension of activities.

Blockades remain at the Pemex plant and the highway to the Isthmus; They allow free passage at the toll booth in Huitzo, at the exits to the Sierra Norte at the Benito Juárez Monument, as well as at the Hacienda Blanca intersection, at the exit to Mexico.

In addition to the teachers’ blockades, there are two others active by residents in Ayoquezco, in the Central Valley, and in Tepelmeme, in the Mixteca region.
