Malu Lajous (consultant, civil servant and micro financer) tells us about the situation of the teacher's protest in Oaxaca against some (as many people said, much needed) government reforms. It has been going on for months, when we visited they had been camping in the zocalo for a while. On the second day of the new academic year (19th of August) they closed down the school opposite Malu's house, so the parents started protesting. It was interesting to see these local politics - it felt a bit like being back home in France ;).
Picture of the parents protesting outside the school - I didn't want to get too close, seems like journalism photography isn't my forte.
