Normalistas Block Bucareli for Seven Hours While Delegations Meet with Interior Ministry

Approximately 60 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Normal School blocked Bucareli Avenue in Mexico City for nearly seven hours while a student delegation held dialogue with Secretariat of Interior (Gobernación) officials. Chants demanding justice for the 43 disappeared normalistas were sustained throughout the blockade. After the meeting concluded, the group withdrew without publicly announcing concrete results. Students combined demands for justice for the 43 disappeared with school-level grievances including employment for graduates and agricultural subsidies from SADER. The action was a follow-on to the April 16 protest at the same location, reflecting sustained pressure as investigation talks remained deadlocked.
