  • Students from the Teteles Rural Teacher Training College in Puebla blocked traffic at Eje Central and Avenida Juárez for more than 32 hours.
  • A student delegation met with Interior Ministry officials to discuss their demands, while other protesters maintained the road closure.
  • The blockade caused major traffic disruption, forcing motorists to use alternate streets as negotiations continued.

Students from the Teteles Rural Teacher Training College in Puebla maintained a road blockade at Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas and Avenida Juárez in central Mexico City for more than 32 hours.

The students said they were carrying out the action as part of mobilizations to press their demands. While protesters held activities and a rally at the intersection, a delegation met with officials from the Interior Ministry at about 2 p.m. to discuss their requests.

The dialogue did not immediately clear the streets. Another group of demonstrators remained at Eje Central and Avenida Juárez, keeping the road closed while the meeting took place.

The protest significantly affected traffic in the central area. Drivers had to use alternate routes, and circulation had not fully resumed as the students and authorities followed the possible agreements from the talks.
