CNTE No-Show at Sheinbaum Meeting Highlights Ongoing Tensions

Mexico City's Head of Government, Claudia Sheinbaum, reported today that the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) failed to attend a scheduled meeting on May 8th, 2025, aimed at resolving ongoing labor disputes. Sheinbaum stated that the Ministry of the Interior sent the CNTE an official letter inviting them to dialogue, yet they did not attend. "They have the invitation in writing; it's up to them to decide whether to engage in dialogue," Sheinbaum said. The no-show is particularly concerning given the CNTE's public statements advocating for dialogue to resolve their grievances. The incident highlights the ongoing tension between the Mexican government and the CNTE, and raises questions about the future of negotiations.
