On the third day of the CNTE's 72-hour national strike, CETEG teachers in Guerrero blocked banks, closed shops, and retained buses in Chilpancingo, demanding dialogue with President Claudia Sheinbaum and ISSSTE pension reforms including repeal of the 2007 law.
As part of the Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE)'s 72-hour national strike that began March 18 with marches in Mexico City and actions across states like Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Michoacán, teachers from the Coordinadora Estatal de Trabajadores de la Educación en Guerrero (CETEG) intensified protests in Chilpancingo on March 20. They blocked access to bank branches in the zócalo—BBVA, Banamex, Banco Azteca, and Coppel—using banners and tarps. Simultaneously, they shuttered establishments in Colonia Universal and retained bus units at the terminal, with some masked protesters adding graffiti. Additional blockades occurred at Glorieta Pleasant Hill near the ISSSTE clinic. Core demands align with the national call: reinstating dialogue with President Claudia Sheinbaum, repealing the 2007 ISSSTE Law, eliminating Afores (which manage retirement funds for teachers), and building a regional hospital and Guerrero Education Secretariat offices on the former Ineban site. CETEG leadership met with Governor Evelyn Salgado Pineda the previous night and warned of an indefinite national strike if unmet.
