Movimiento Pos Me Salto
The Pos Me Salto Movement was a protest campaign that took place in the Mexico City metro system in response to a 40% fare increase (from three to five pesos per ticket) on 13 December 2013, which abruptly made the transit system one of the world's most expensive. It was launched on Twitter by means of the #PosMeSalto hashtag (''pos me salto'' means roughly "well, then, I'll jump he turnstile in Spanish). This protest encouraged not paying the fare and instead hopping over the metro turnstiles and avoiding the station police. During the first day of the protests, the police did not intervene and detained nobody. Precedents The newspaper ''El Universal'' noted a precedent to this initiative in the movement that began in Brazil called '' Movimento Passe Livre'' and suggested that a number of consultants from that movement had traveled to Mexico City to assist their Mexican counterparts. People associated with the CNTE teachers' union and the National Autonomous University of Mexi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Movimento Passe Livre
The Free Fare Movement ( pt, Movimento Passe Livre, ) is a Brazilian social movement that advocates the adoption of free fares in mass transit. The movement was founded in a session during the Worldwide Social Forum in 2005, in Porto Alegre, and gained prominence for its participation in the planning of the 2013 Brazilian protests. Proposals The major demand of the movement is the migration of the private transport system to a public system, an event which would guarantee universal access by free fares. For the movement, this would bring about a system free of social exclusion. The actions of the movement include dissemination, studies and analysis of local transport systems, and then taking this information to various groups within the cities. The movement also participates in protests, manifestations, interventions, and popular-initiative pushes for legislation. The movement uses such tactics to pressure the government, believing it to be the best way of doing politics with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coordinadora Nacional De Trabajadores De La Educación
The Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE) is a teachers union in Mexico founded on December 17, 1979, as an alternative to the Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (SNTE). The union is most active in the southern states of Mexico. History The CNTE was originally formed out of the SNTE in response to the political relationship between unionization and government. The CNTE pushed against the bureaucratic tendencies of the SNTE, favoring Maoism, Maoist and Marxism, Marxist ideological values for education and reform. They disagreed with the state-sponsored or “official” unions of the SNTE, opting for a less systematic union organization with government separation. Leading up to its creation, those who would become a part of the Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE) faced subversion by the Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (SNTE), threatening and terrorizing the union leaders into submission in the ...
