Tear Gas Fills the Air as Teachers Clash With Riot Police in Mexico City | APT

Teachers from the CNTE union clashed with riot police outside Mexico City’s National Palace as a 48 hour strike erupted into chaos. Demonstrators attempted to tear down metal barricades while President Claudia Sheinbaum held her morning press conference inside, prompting police to fire tear gas to disperse the crowds. Union leaders accused the government of lying about negotiations and demanded the repeal of education reforms, the regularisation of temporary teachers, and a direct dialogue with authorities. The violent scenes unfolded as tensions grew over long standing labour disputes and claims of unfulfilled promises. #mexico #police #apt
