Mexico City Union Clash: Teachers Storm SNTE Building

Mexico City Union Clash: CETEG Members Storm SNTE Building Mexico City was the scene of a significant clash between rival teachers' unions on June 5th, 2025. Members of the CETEG (Coordinadora Estatal de Trabajadores de la Educación de Guerrero), the teachers' union from the state of Guerrero, forcefully entered the building of the SNTE (Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación), Mexico's national teachers' union, located at Venezuela 46 in the Historic Center. Eyewitnesses report seeing protesters using sticks and pipes to breach security. 'It was chaotic,' said one witness who wished to remain anonymous, 'they were shouting and pushing, breaking things.' The protesters engaged in acts of vandalism, including burning clothing inside the building. The incident caused significant disruption and raised concerns about escalating tensions between the two unions. The SNTE has yet to release an official statement, but the incident underscores the ongoing struggles within the Mexican education system and the power dynamics between various teacher organizations. The incident is being investigated by local authorities, and further updates are expected from official sources.
