Guadalajara -
Members of the radical teachers union Coordinadora Nacional de los Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE) were kicked out of Mexico City late Friday by federal security forces, after they refused to leave voluntarily. Some of them had been permanently encamped near the center of government for months, while the main contingent arrived in late August. CNTE says they'll be back on Wednesday - unless of course the government prevents their reentry. CNTE's previous visit cost the Federal District millions of dollars in lost business revenues and security expenditures, as well as property damage.

Urging CNTE onward is former two-time leftist presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrado, the anti-Enrique Peña Nieto student protest movement YoSoy 132 and prominent Mexican writer and leftist political commentator Elena Poniatowska.
