Members Of The CNTE Topple World Cup Sculptures In Mexico
Passersby interact with World Cup sculptures that members of the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) have toppled along Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City, Mexico, on June 2, 2026. CNTE members have set up a protest camp in the Zocalo, the city's main square, calling for the repeal of the 2007 ISSSTE Law, which they argue affects their pensions and retirement benefits. They are also seeking salary increases, the reinstatement of dismissed teachers, and the opening of a direct dialogue with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, among other demands.
