Authorities intercepted hammers, metal bars, and fireworks from individuals associated with the CNTE teachers’ union as they approached the Estadio Ciudad de México. The interception occurred before a scheduled football match between Colombia and Uzbekistan. Officials have accused the group of being comprised of radical individuals unwilling to negotiate demands through dialogue. The presence of these individuals raised security concerns in the vicinity of the stadium. The intercepted items suggest a potential for disruption or violence related to the protest. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely to maintain order and ensure the safety of attendees at the sporting event. The CNTE has been actively demonstrating to address unresolved grievances.
