Overview
- Students from multiple teacher-training schools gathered at the Ángel de la Independencia under the Federación de Estudiantes Campesinos Socialistas de México to begin a national march.
- The contingent moved along Paseo de la Reforma and then south on Avenida Insurgentes with trucks escorting groups and traffic police opening nearby streets to let them pass.
- Metrobús service was suspended and stations were closed along the route, causing immediate disruption to bus-rapid-transit commuters in central Mexico City.
- Protesters carried banners and Ayotzinapa photos calling for justice while a commission of students met with the Education Ministry’s DGESuM at Avenida Universidad 1200 and blocked the avenue for several hours.
- FECSM says its core demand is increased funding for 16 rural normal schools to fix crowded dormitories, poor dining services and weak infrastructure that affect students from remote communities.
