In Mexico, 10,000 people took to the streets of Mexico City to protest the neoliberal education reforms of President Enrique Peña Nieto. The protests came after the Mexican government announced it would suspend plans to implement teacher evaluations following mass opposition. Meanwhile, teachers’ union members ransacked election offices in southern Mexico, stealing and burning ballots, seizing 11 offices in the state of Oaxaca and blocking a storage facility of the state-run oil firm Pemex. The teachers have announced a strike to protest the education reforms and boycott Sunday’s midterm elections.
