Mexico: thousands of teachers and students march again

The protests against the Education Law, which implies almost totalitarian cuts in worker rights, continued on Thursday in Mexico. Thousands marched through Distrito Federal and in many other cities through the North American country, along with other measures like blockade of roads, suspension of classes, etc. 

The government responded with massive police deployment, which is feared will be the main means that the contested President Peña Nieto will use to enforce his power, also as he attempts to privatize the oil company PEMEX, the backbone of the country's limited prosperity.

Protests and clashes continue in Mexico

Images of the clashes before the Congressional Palace in Mexico D.F.:

These clashes took place at the crossroads between Venustiano Carranza and Eje Central, as granaderos (riot police) managed to surround some 50 youths who attempted to reach Congress by any means necessary.

There were previous clashes at the crossroads between Juárez Av. and the Paseo de la Reforma, as the police attempted the march to continue but were overwhelmed by youths who pushed them aside at the cry of "not violence!"

A perpendicular march of teachers to the Presidential Palace also took place. Regarding this march, the Revolutionary Action lamented that the CTNE (teacher union) autocratically revoked an assembly decision by the teachers to invite students to join their march, reason why this organization ignored this particular demonstration.

Mexico: police represses would-be protesters in the subway

Hundreds of riot police agents in full gear occupied metro stations in Mexico D.F. in order to violently repress an intended protest at the Presidential palace of Los Pinos. 

Let us here recall that all recent Mexican presidential elections have been tarnished by mass fraud, what makes the authorities highly illegitimate.

Police violently beat protesters and neutral commuters alike. Reports also suggest that infiltrated plain clothes' police provokers, carrying rocks and petrol bombs, were also present and caused much trouble.

This intended protest is part of a wider civil disobedience campaign which has scheduled a protest camp in the Ángel de la Independencia (close to Los Pinos) for tomorrow and Wednesday, when there will be a march on the anniversary of the burning of kindergarten ABC. Between June 15th and 25th there will be a civic plebiscite on the revocation of the presidential mandate, followed by a march against insecurity and later, on July 1st, mobilizations across the country.

The highly participated march of FUSIÓN labor union in remembrance of the Chicago martyrs was troubled by incidents as some independent groups attacked several bank offices and one restaurant. Police responded by brutally attacking the march with live fire.

Victor Agustín Reyes, speaker of FUSIÓN, demanded the immediate release of 20 of the arrested who are members of the People's Revolutionary Front (FPR), saying that they had evidence that none of them had taken part in the incidents. Francisco Martínez, speaking for the FPR, made the same demands, warning of undetermined measures if the authorities did not release the militants immediately.

There are reports that the arrested were object of abuses and that paramilitary groups attacked some demonstrators.
