Students and professors of the University of the Americas Puebla (UDLAP) protested for the second time this month, to demand the liberation of the campus, which has been taken over by state police and private security since June 19.
According to reports from Lado B, the demonstrators gathered in the vicinity of the Puebla Congress, where Governor Miguel Barbosa was giving his work report, so a security fence prevented the passage of the march.

In addition, they expressed their rejection of the appointment of Armando Ríos Piter as rector of the University, and requested the return of the campus to Cecilia Anaya Berrios, who is recognized by the university community as the interim rector, the media detailed.
The protest was called after an agreement they had reached with authorities on December 9 was breached, when an agreement was announced to reopen the facilities and resume face-to-face activities.
