Bottom Line Up Front
The day’s verdict: Saturday is the hinge — Mexico’s teachers chose escalation over the government’s offer, Peru fell silent before tomorrow’s vote, and the biggest free-music weekend of the winter takes over from Rio to Santiago.
01Mexico City — the teachers dig in. The union rejected the government’s first concrete pension offer as insufficient and extended its strike into World Cup week; a national assembly votes the official response on Sunday, with leaders floating takeovers of the airport and the stadium.
02Peru — the country goes quiet. The nationwide dry law is in force from this morning until Monday, with all campaigning over; 27.3 million voters pick a president on Sunday between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez — who heads to the ballot with prosecutors seeking a 5-year sentence in a campaign-finance case.
