Marx Arriaga, who served as the General Director of Educational Materials at the Ministry of Public Education (SEP) in Mexico, was dismissed from his position on February 13. Despite his dismissal, Arriaga claims he has not received any official documentation to formalize his termination and plans to stay in his role until legally notified. His resistance reflects his belief in the importance of solidarity in facing challenges within the education sector.

In a social media post, Arriaga called for a 'Protest with Proposal' from his office at the General Directorate of Educational Materials, located on Avenida Universidad. He expressed a sense of camaraderie among his supporters, insisting that their collective actions are necessary to prevent a division that could lead to defeat. His remarks emphasize both the urgency of their situation and the solidarity required to address the issues they face.

As the situation escalates, police reportedly attempted to remove Arriaga from the premises, showcasing the conflict between him and the current government structure within the SEP. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions in Mexico's educational policies and the role of key officials in advocating for or resisting changes within the education system.
