Mexico City official asks teachers' union to limit protest impact

Mexico City's Government Secretary, César Cravioto, has called on the National Education Workers' Coordinator (CNTE) to ensure their upcoming mobilizations cause the least possible disruption to the public. The statement comes amid ongoing protests by the teachers' union.

Cravioto met with merchants in the capital on Tuesday to discuss the economic effects of the teachers' demonstrations. The dialogue aimed to address concerns and find solutions regarding the impact of the protests on local businesses.

Despite the potential for further disruptions from teacher-led actions, Cravioto expressed optimism regarding the hosting of the upcoming World Cup. He conveyed confidence that the major international sporting event will proceed without significant issues, suggesting that contingency plans are in place or that the protests are not expected to jeopardize the tournament.

The CNTE has been engaged in various forms of protest, often related to educational reforms and labor demands. The government's call for minimal public impact highlights the delicate balance between the right to protest and the need to maintain public order and economic activity in the capital.
