Well, any day of the week, you name it and there is a protest, blockade, march or a combination of the three. It makes me wonder if there are other cities where this is just normal life. People here deal with it matter-of-factly and try to get on with their lives.
This is not to say that folks are not pissed off about it, but more or less resigned to these daily hassles and inconveniences, not to mention the economic impact it has on everyone. So yesterday, Monday, the teachers marched once again. Here's
a Noticias link to the whys and wherefores.
Of course, it was another day off for the 1,300,00 students in the state. And the businesses in the zocalo took another hit in the pocket book.
These tables would normally be filled..... but what is normal?
This current planton or sit/sleep/live/in has been going on for over a year.
The 43 students remain a central issue, with demands for their return, which seems to be a bit of an unrealistic demand, one that will never be met, mainly because it cannot be met. However, there are many demands that can and should be addressed, but for many reasons, just never are.
