The National Coordination of Education Workers (CNTE) demanded media giant Televisa to give them room in order to present their political positioning and warned of a wave of demonstrations against the official tests for teachers.

The CNTE is holding a rally in front of the offices of the media networks on central Avenida Chapultepec, and they warned that they will not move until the doors are opened in order to make public a document drawn up yesterday by the National Representative Assembly (NRA) of the union.
