This Tuesday, at the restart of classes at La Reforma primary school, two directors of the Secretariat of Public Education of Hidalgo (SEPH) who accompanied the new director of the school to take office, were detained by ejidatarios.
Just this weekend the conflict between parents and ejidatarios over the property of a sports field that belongs to the school intensified.
After school officials arrived, a group of people came to the school and blocked access, even putting flat tires on cars.
The prompt intervention of the public security authorities is expected, since this is the second time that people from outside the town have been detained; in previous weeks there were two reporters.

As a website editor for world-today-news.com, I would like to invite you to an exclusive interview with two guests who can provide insight on the recent events unfolding at La Reforma primary school in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico.

Our second guest is Mr. Pablo Sanchez, a representative from the Secretariat of Public Education of Hidalgo (SEPH) who was detained by the ejidatarios during the incident. He will share his perspective on the situation and how it affects the children’s education at the school.
1. Ms. Maria Garcia, welcome to our interview. Congratulations on your new position as the director of La Reforma primary school. We understand that you were joined by two SEPH directors on your first day at the school. Could you tell us more about your expectations and plans for your tenure at La Reforma? What challenges do you foresee in your new role, and how do you plan to address them?
2. Mr. Pablo Sanchez, we appreciate your taking the time to join us in this interview. As a representative from SEPH, can you provide more details about the conflict between the parents and the ejidatarios over the sports field? What role does SEPH play in mediating such disputes, and how do you think this situation will affect future interactions with the community?
3. Both guests, as a result of the escalating tensions, the school was blocked by a group of people from outside the town who put flat tires on cars and prevented officials from entering the premises. Can you give us a first-hand account of the experience and how it affected your day? How long was the blockade in place, and what were the safety precautions taken by the authorities during this time?
4. This is not the first time there has been conflict at the school. We’ve heard reports of two reporters being detained previously. Based on your experiences, how would you characterize the relationship between the community and the school authorities? What steps do you think need to be taken to improve it, and how can the government or SEPH get more involved in resolving these disputes?
