CNTE Marks 46 Years With Marches, Sets Jan. 31 Vote on Possible National Strike

Leaders plan intensified January–February organizing to press repeal of the 2007 ISSSTE law plus reversal of contested education reforms.

Overview

  • Teachers from CNTE and SNTE contingents rallied in Tuxtla Gutiérrez as part of nationwide 46th‑anniversary events that included gatherings in Mexico City, Morelia and Guerrero.
  • A national representative assembly is scheduled for January 31 in Mérida to decide whether to call a 72‑hour stoppage or move toward an indefinite strike.
  • CNTE leaders reiterated core demands that include overturning the Peña‑AMLO education reform, abrogating the 2007 ISSSTE changes and establishing a solidarity pension system.
  • Organizers said January–February brigade work will build conditions for renewed action after leaders cited ongoing salary precariousness, incomplete basification and job instability.
  • Chiapas representatives reported an outstanding debt of about 485 million pesos to educators and noted local advances such as reinstatements, the reopening of FABES and bilateral handling of promotions and new entry in place of USICAMM.
