Collateral benefits in the election for the CNTE

By Nurit Martínez

One of the collateral effects of the June 2 election is the strengthening of the National Coordination of Education Workers (CNTE) in the country. The support for Morena negotiated directly with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador generated for them, in Mexico City alone, an extraordinary bonus of 7,500 pesos, and in the country to return to the table where the positions for basic education teachers are assigned and to commit the new government of Claudia Sheinbaum to negotiate directly with the dissident leadership of the teachers' union.

In the call made by the CNTE to announce that they will return to the classrooms to close the school year in Mexico City, the leader Pedro Hernandez of Section 9 listed the benefits obtained by the organization after the electoral process.

He acknowledged this on Sunday when he made a balance of his "struggle" and pointed out that the mobilization that lasted 20 days left thousands of students without classes in Mexico City schools and caused chaos for thousands of citizens with the "visit" to the Circuito Interior, the International Airport of Mexico City (AICM) and the Concordia Bridge.
