Called by the General Assembly, the protesters carried out a peaceful protest with a list of demands that included the reestablishment of the community kitchen, the immediate payment of overdue scholarships, urgent improvements in infrastructure, maintenance of buildings, safe transportation for field practices and the regularization of employment of temporary personnel. Among the most recent points of the document, a political position was also added: the request for break academic relations with Israel.
During the protest, admission to the museum was free, while students placed blankets with the Palestine flag in the ticket office areaand distributed statements in which they denounced that the INAH authorities have failed to comply with agreements signed in previous years. The mobilization, which took place without confrontations, sought to make visible the precariousness in which one of the most emblematic institutions of anthropological training in Mexico operates.
INAH is pronounced
Hours later, the National Institute of Anthropology and History published a statement in which it recognized the demonstration and announced the rescheduling of academic and cultural activities to guarantee that the dialogue continues in conditions of respect. For its part, the Ministry of Culture assured that the ENAH “has had and will have its support” and that a working group will be maintained to review the use of resources, scholarships and the conditions of the campus.
On social networks, the General Assembly reported that preliminary agreements were reached and that a student commission will follow up on the negotiations. Although the institutional commitments were well received, the students warned that the mobilization will continue until the promises are translated into real improvements within their school.
