CNTE will continue blocking streets until chips cost $2.50 again.

Inflationary Avenue.- The CNTE announced that it will continue blocking streets and avenues until the price of chips returns to $2.50.

After reporters asked them how long they would continue their protests, members of the beloved teachers' union clarified that they will do so until prices return to pre-pandemic levels.

The pretext for raising prices was that the pandemic

“We just can't get used to the fact that Ruffles cost almost 20 pesos, and that a kilo of Oaxaca cheese is already over 200,” explained one teacher, fed up with the hyperinflation.

The Coordinator's just demands will have to be met by the government if they want to stop blocking public buildings like Reforma Avenue or the INE, which had planned to begin counting votes next Sunday.

CNTE teachers gather at the Angel of Independence roundabout on Paseo de la Reforma to march toward the Caballito Tower.

“There’s no more pandemic, there’s no more shortage of supplies… why don’t Cheetos cost 2 pesos like they used to?” a teacher rhetorically questioned, before recounting everything he could buy at the store with a 5-peso coin.

If the government doesn't address the union members' demands, they will continue to take to the streets, taking advantage of the fact that the school year is almost over and that, in the southern states, there is less urgency for students to attend classes.

And so you can't stop laughing: they banned music on the beach in Rio de Janeiro, and who's going to tell them?
