In Mexico City, police deployed tear gas to disperse a group of protesting teachers who were attempting to access a historic square where preparations for the "Fan Fest" of the upcoming 2026 World Cup are underway. The confrontation erupted when the teachers, advocating for improved pay and benefits, breached a metal barrier set up by authorities. Reports from AFP journalists indicate that the situation escalated as law enforcement sought to prevent the protesters from reaching the designated area.
