Bottom Line Up Front
Today’s verdict: Sunday is decision day twice over — Mexico’s teachers meet to lock in a World Cup-week battle plan that now names the airport and the stadium, Peru chooses a president on a knife-edge, and São Paulo throws the biggest Pride parade on earth.
Mexico City — the union sets its plan today. After rejecting the government’s first pension offer, the teachers’ national assembly meets this Sunday to approve their official response and next moves. Leaders have floated blockades at the airport and the stadium, with reinforcements arriving over the weekend, four days before kickoff.
Peru — 27.3 million people vote. Polls run 7am to 5pm, the exit-poll flash lands at 5pm, and the first official count is due after 11pm. Keiko Fujimori faces Roberto Sánchez in a race tight enough that the final result could take days.
São Paulo Pride turns 30. Fourteen trios and more than 130 acts — Pabllo Vittar, Gloria Groove, Urias, Melody — roll down Avenida Paulista from 10am under the theme “the street calls, the ballot confirms.”
