National Teachers Day: Ten thousand march against Elba Esther Gordillo

During the National Teachers Day in Mexico this Sunday, more than 10,000 teachers, most of them from the dissident teacher union Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE), not to be confused with the SNTE, marched in Mexico City demanding that Gordillo resign.

A show of force, but compared with SNTE's strength of at least 1.4 million members, a drop in the ocean.

Of note: Calderón himself appeared with Elba Esther Gordillo, following less than stellar relations between the two, as Gordillo has in essence returned to backing the PRI and in particular Enrique Peña Nieto.
