The Popular Assembly and the Teachers Take Gov. Ulises’ Place at the “Grito” Independence Day Celebration, Publish Manifesto

Perhaps the longest title for an article that I have ever translated, but the title in Spanish "Asamblea popular y mentores desplazan a Ulises en el Grito; publican manifiesto" is pretty long and has some references that are not as clear in English as they are in Spanish.

"The Popular Assembly and the Teachers Take Gov. Ulises’ Place at the “Grito” Independence Day Celebration, Publish Manifesto" is available at NarcoNews.

an excerpt:
Section 22 of the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE) suspended the handover of 25 public buses that had been seized from the urban transportation authorities in the face of opposition and rebellion from their own bases of support. The handover had been agreed upon at the negotiation table with the Mexican Interior Minister Carlos Abascal Carranza.

The secretary of press and propaganda of the local union council, Daniel Rosas Romero, tried to begin the withdrawal of the encampments located in front of the State´s Attorney General´s Office (PGJE in its Spanish initials), but he was practically run off by his compañeros. “Who is he to be deciding? It is the movement who decides,” remarked one female teacher.
