DENUNCIATION:

WE STRONGLY DENOUNCE THE ATTACK, HARASSMENT AND MANIPULATION CARRIED OUT BY THE THREE LEVELS OF THE BAD GOVERNMENT TOWARDS THE TOWNS OF ZAPATISTA SUPPORT BASES ON THE ISSUE OF RECOVERED LAND.

WE ENLIST THE FOLLOWING FACTS:

FIRST: ON THE DAYS APRIL 22ND, MAY 12TH, JULY 12TH, AND AUGUST 29TH, 30 PEOPLE BELONGING TO THE MUNICIPALITY OF HUIXTAN, HEADED BY EMILIO BOLOM ÁLVAREZ, MIGUEL BOLOM PALÉ, MIGUEL VÁZQUEZ SÁNTIZ AND DAVID SEFERINO GÓMEZ, WITH THE PROTECTION OF THE FEDERAL ARMY, AND THE MUNICIPAL POLICE OF OCOCINGO ARRIVED TO THE VILLAGE OF BELEN, IN THE CAMPESINO REGION OF THE CARACOL 8 DOLORES HIDALGO WERE OUR COMPAÑEROS IN CHARGE OF THE COLLECTIVE WORKS OF THE REGION AND THE MILPA WORK WITH OUR NON-ZAPATISTA BROTHERS ARE LIVING.

WE TRIED TO TALK TO THEM, BUT THEY CLEARLY TOLD US THAT THE LAND HAD ALREADY BEEN HANDED OVER TO THEM BY THE GOVERNMENT AND THAT THEY HAD THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS.

AT THIS TIME, THEY THREATENED AND HARASSED OUR COLLEAGUES, TELLING THEM TO LEAVE THE LAND EITHER BY FAIR MEANS OR FOUL. THEY TRIED TO MANIPULATE THEM BY SAYING THAT IF THEY REACHED AN AGREEMENT WITH OUR COMPAÑEROS, THEY WOULD RESPECT THEM. THEY DESTROYED OUR SIGNBOARDS AND MEASURED THE LAND.

FACED WITH THESE THREATS AND BY AGREEMENT OF THE ASSEMBLY OF COLLECTIVES OF ZAPATISTA AUTONOMOUS GOVERNMENTS (ACGAZ), WE AGREED THAT WE MUST WITHDRAW BECAUSE IN ORDER TO DEFEND OURSELVES WE MUST PLAN.

SECOND: ON SEPTEMBER 18TH, 20TH, AND 22ND, 15 PEOPLE ENTERED AND STAYED ON THE PROPERTY. ON SEPTEMBER 20TH, TWO FEDERAL ARMY TRUCKS, THREE MUNICIPAL POLICE TRUCKS FROM OCOCINGO, AND FOUR STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S TRUCKS ARRIVED AGAIN. THEY DESTROYED AND BURNED THE HOMES OF OF THE ZAPATISTA SUPPORT BASES IN CHARGE, STOLE CORN, AND THOSE WHO STAYED ARE STILL STEALING. WE AGAIN TRIED TO TALK, BUT THEY NEVER UNDERSTOOD, AND CLAIMED THAT THE BAD GOVERNMENT HAD FORMALLY HANDED OVER THE LAND TO THEM.

THIRD: WE ARE NOT LYING TO THE PEOPLE OF MEXICO AND THE WORLD THAT THOSE LANDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR BY THE BAD GOVERNMENT SINCE 1996, WHEN MANUEL CAMACHO SOLÍS LIVED. IT IS CLEAR HERE THAT THIS IS A PLAN OF THE THREE LEVELS OF BAD GOVERNMENTS BECAUSE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR, AND WHY IS IT HANDING OVER AGAIN THE LAND THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR? WHAT THE FOURTH TRANSFORMATION IS SEEKING HERE IS A CLASH, CONFRONTATION, AND WAR.

OUR ATTEMPT TO SEEK DIALOGUE WAS IN VAIN. WE HAVE OFTEN SAID THAT WE DON’T WANT WAR, WHAT WE WANT IS LIFE IN COMMON, BUT THEY ARE FORCING US TO DEFEND OURSELVES.

THE FOURTH TRANSFORMATION IS CLEARLY ON THE SIDE OF NATIONAL AND TRANSNATIONAL LANDLORDS AND BUSINESSMEN. THAT IS THE TRUE FOURTH. IT’S NOTHING FOR THE POOR PEOPLE OF MEXICO.

THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING AS IF HERE FOR THE PEOPLE OF MEXICO THERE WERE ZERO IMPUNITY, AS IF IN MEXICO THE BAD GOVERNMENT WERE NOT COLLUDED WITH ORGANIZED CRIME, AS IF HERE THE BAD SYSTEM DID NOT KNOW THE WAR OF ORGANIZED CRIME, AS IF HERE IN MEXICO THERE WERE NOT SEVERAL SPARKS THAT COULD LIGHT A FIRE.

PICTURES AND VIDEOS PROVING THAT WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS THE TRUTH ARE IN POWER OF HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS.

COMPAÑERAS Y COMPAÑEROS OF MEXICO AND THE WORLD:

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES. MAYBE WE MIGHT SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN, MAYBE WE MAY NOT. IT MAY BE THAT THE LAST TIME WE SAW EACH OTHER WAS IN THE LAST ENCOUNTER. WE WILL BE ALERT AND IN TOUCH AND WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED. WE HOPE THAT ON THAT ENCOUNTER ON THE SEEDBED [SEMILLERO] YOU UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING WE SAID, THAT IS, THE STRUGGLE TO FIND LIFE IN COMMON.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE PEOPLE OF MEXICO AND THE WORLD, THIS IS WHAT THERE IS, THE PLAN OF NEOLIBERALISM IN MEXICO AGAISNT US. AS WE SAID AT THE ENCOUNTER AT THE SEEDBED [SEMILLERO]: TODAY IS PALESTINE, TOMORROW IT WILL BE US.

SINCERELY:
GOVERNMENTS IN COMMON
