Chilpancingo, Guerrero - The General Assembly of the Popular Movement of Guerrero (MPG) agreed that on Monday, it would define a new action plan against the education reform, based on decisions taken by the National Coordinating Committee of Education Workers (CNTE), which is maintaining an encampment in the Zócalo [central plaza] of Mexico City.
In addition, the MPG spokesmen claimed that Saturday afternoon, for several minutes, a helicopter flew over the camp, apparently the Federal Police, so
"acts of intimidation continue, because the police patrols also have not ceased."However, the contingent in the camp has declined significantly. A source said that teachers have returned to their regions to report to parents regarding the movement's status. A representative portion from each region will gradually return, beginning on Monday, and others will move to the CNTE encampment in the nation's capital.
For now, it is convening the movement's state assembly, to which were invited the Regional Coordinator of Community Authorities, Community Police (CRAC-PC) and the more than 20 non-governmental and social organizations that have joined in the MPG.
The same source, who asked not be named for security reasons, said Governor Angel Aguirre Rivero is pushing the CRAC and other organizations to stop supporting the movement.
"Unfortunately, they have succeeded with some organizations, but most are remaining with the MPG. Even more groups have joined, and it has received support from universities, such as the University of California in Los Angeles and one in Arizona, and from teachers of the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the Metropolitan Autonomous University, to name a few, he said.Spanish original
