go to original June 19, 2013

Teachers of the National Coordinating Committee of Education Workers (CNTE) held a rally outside the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJ) to demand that it accept the petitions for amparo [protection] against the education reform, which were dismissed by a federal appeals court.

As part of their 'day of struggle', the teachers said that if they don't receive a favorable response to their demand for repeal of the educational reform, they will undertake various actions, including a boycott and protest of the [state and local] elections scheduled for July 7, and re-establish their national encampment [in Mexico City] on July 8.

At least 300 dissident teachers gathered outside the main entrance of the Supreme Court to demand that a committee of teachers be received to deliver their petition regarding the petitions for amparo submitted by at least 200,000 teachers from across the country to the appeals court beginning on April 3.
