The conflict between the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE), self-proclaimed "base power", and the Michoacán authorities has not been resolved, much less tension has been lowered, which could lead to new clashes this week. After failing to get the government to recognize Lázaro Márquez as director of Indigenous Education, the members of section 18 of the CNTE, self-proclaimed "base power", have planned a "day of struggle", for which they called on the entire base that makes up the level of indigenous education, to meet this Monday at 10:00 a.m. in the Caltzontzin square and try again to take the train tracks that pass through that place. https://www.milenio.com/estados/cnte-alista-jornada-lucha-michoacan-preve-toma-vias

"The other time in the negotiation I had to say this, it would be good if they already gave a favorable response and I hope that it does not sound very threatening on my part, I do not want to do that, but unfortunate things can happen ," he said. The conflict began when last week the governor of Michoacán appointed the lawyer David Robles as head, which annoyed the teachers, which led to clashes in the community of Caltzontzin, in the municipality of Uruapan. After days of threats, last Friday, David Robles presented his resignation, however, after a meeting between the teachers and the authorities of the entity, the Secretary of the Interior of the entity, Carlos Torres Piña , asked them for a short list for them to elect the director and also impose the deputy director of indigenous education, which caused annoyance in the teachers and broke off the negotiations. “Desde el (19)94 vimos la cantidad y calidad de corrupción que existía cuando eran impuestos los directores de Educación. Entonces un día decidimos que nosotros escogeríamos al mejor, entre varios candidatos votamos por el mejor proyecto, y en este caso el mío ganó”, comentó Lázaro quien cuenta con una maestría en pedagogía por la Universidad Nacional Pedagógica de Zamora. El maestro Joaquín Lázaro Márquez es querido por la comunidad indígena de Michoacán porque tiene 32 años dedicados a la educación indígena, actualmente trabaja en un proyecto junto con otros maestros para traducir la biblia del español al purépecha, y el actual himno purépecha es de su autoría. “Es impensable que una persona que no sea docente se quiera meter en educación indígena, primero: por la cuestión lingüística, para aspirar a llegar a ser director Educación Indígena tienes que saber de mínimo fonética, gramática, rasgos discursivos, mucho de la lengua purépecha, pero también un poco de las otras lenguas”, explicó.​JLMR The conflict between the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE), self-proclaimed "base power", and the Michoacán authorities has not been resolved, much less tension has been lowered, which could lead to new clashes this week.

"If there isn't a favorable response, it's going to get ugly, that's all I'm saying, it's going to get very ugly and I particularly don't want that to happen," said Lázaro Márquez, an indigenous teacher and member of the CNTE.
