It was obvious that the teachers had gotten word of the protest because they spread out and blocked access to the center of the city. They were a bit intimidating as they stood waiting for confrontation, but nothing happened.

El planton continues.... and continues
I am curious as to how the rain and hail affected the planton. There was so much water here in San Sebastian, if it rained that hard in the city, the streets must have been rushing torrents. So as I say, I am curious, but not curious to go into the city as the teachers are shutting down roads today.
There was an anti-teacher protests yesterday one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I guess I arrived after the morning one dissipated, even though I was there at 10:30.
There was some residual action with press doing interviews and a state cop diligently taking notes.
The afternoon drew 1000 people.

Thank you for the update. I can't believe that the teachers blocked the roads to impede the antimaestro march. Who do they think they are? Bullies, is the word I think of.

The teachers have now erected eleven barricades around their planton.
