Actualité - Mexican Air Force against Oaxaca Teachers

Mexico, Oct 2 (Prensa Latina) - Authorities from the Secretary of Government of Mexico announced on Monday that next Wednesday they will define a way to restore order in Oaxaca state, with military interference possible.

During the weekend, the threat of interference by troops increased, after military planes and helicopters were identified flying over the capital of that district.

Sources say those flights were routine, and official Carlos Abascal, in direct communication with cabinet of public security, asserted that the exercise will depend on the response to the announcement delivered last Friday to peacefully reopen relations.

The government proposal was officially passed on to the Oaxaca Peoples Popular Assembly (APPO), offering a 25 thousand peso budget increase to boost Oaxaca teachers to the same level as the rest of the country and development of that zone, but still has received no response.

APPO has agreed to dialogue with the condition that the federal government includes the resignation of the state governor Ulises Ruiz.
