According to the memorandum signed on May 8 by the Deputy Secretary of Government Relations, Luis Enrique Miranda, and representatives of state coordinators from eleven states, on Friday the federal government would bring to Pact members the demands of the dissident teachers, in order to set dates next week for initiating a dialogue and building consensus.
