126, Enrique López on student activism in Mexico City at CIDE

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear the voice of student activist Enrique López in Mexico City who shares some context and background on the ongoing student protests at Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE) in Mexico City. This series of actions highlights the tensions between student and social movements with the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Actions have largely revolved around the political and administrative autonomy of the campus, with students and campus workers protesting the imposition of administrative shifts at CIDE at the hands of the government. The protests have utilized a variety of tactics in the past year, from sit-ins, to protests, and outdoor dance parties. For background on this student movement struggle in Mexico, this article from the LA Times outlines some of the key points, here: https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-12-15/la-fg-mexico-cide-strike Thank you to educator and author Tania Islas and CERRUCHA for helping to share background and to arrange interview. Music on this edition is by Mexican Institute of Sound, with the track, "Mexico."
