Generation Z and CNTE Prepare for Protests in Mexico City

A day before the protest march scheduled for this Saturday in different cities, the self-proclaimed Generation Z movement published a list of its main demands, most of which call for the recall of Claudia Sheinbaum's mandate. In their statement, Generation Z accuses MORENA of concentrating the 'absolute control over the Executive Branch, the Congress of the Union, and a large part of the Judicial Branch' and holds President Claudia Sheinbaum responsible for the insecurity prevailing in most states of the country. At the same time, members of the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) took to the streets of Mexico City with blockades and confrontations, increasing the pressure on the march scheduled for November 15, due to the risk of clashes between the two sectors or between one of them and the police. The opposition accuses the CNTE of trying to sabotage the Generation Z march. In the opposition leadership meeting in the Senate of the Republic, there is already a version about the CNTE's surprising decision to take to the streets just when the Sombrero Movement—which was led by the murdered mayor of Uruapan, Carlos Mazo—and the sympathizers of One Piece pirates announced their march: 'It's Martí Batres,' opposition leaders repeat, as LPO was able to confirm from one of them. The information circulating in the leadership of the PAN and PRI is that the current director of ISSSTE has mobilized the teacher base to intimidate participants in this Saturday's march, which they could see in the images of violence in the Zócalo of Mexico City this Thursday. CNTE militants confronted the police in the Zócalo this Thursday. 'It's the typical strategy of deterrence through images of confrontations with the police, looting of small stores, direct actions from the Black Block, and the use of firecrackers and fireworks throughout the demonstration,' an opposition leader added to LPO. Division and tension. The exact opposite message to what the organizers of the November 15 rally want to convey.
