Chilpancingo (Mexico) (AFP) - Demonstrators angry over the disappearance of 43 college students set fire to the Guerrero state congress in southern Mexico on Wednesday in a new protest over the presumed massacre.
The attack on the legislature came after members of the radical CETEG teachers union set fire to the education department's audit office in the state capital Chilpancingo.
Some 500 CETEG members and students broke into the state legislature and set fire to the chamber where local lawmakers hold sessions, as well as to the library.
They also torched five cars.
Protesters set alight the Guerrero state headquarters of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) on Tuesday, one day after blocking access to Acapulco's airport for several hours.
