Manifestamos nuestro apoyo a la digna y justa lucha de los pueblos cholultecas contra el Basurero en el estado de Puebla
La guerra y racismo contra los pueblos indígenas cholultecas en el centro del estado de Puebla está cobrando un nuevo episodio de ataques y represión contra la organización que hoy han conformado nuestras hermanas y hermanos en la Unión de Pueblos y Fraccionamientos contra el Basurero y en Defensa del Agua.
Denunciamos que el día de ayer 30 de abril cientos de policías estatales y municipales de San Pedro y San Andrés Cholula intentaron ingresar por la fuerza camiones de basura de más de una docena de municipios, con la intención de seguir contaminando el territorio y el agua de nuestros hermanos cholultecas.
En su intento, el mal gobierno de Puebla y las Cholulas detonó armas de fuego contra los manifestantes, realizó detenciones ilegales, quemó y destrozó vehículos de los pobladores e irrumpió en los domicilios de compañeros de la organización con la intención de detenerlos. Sin embargo la organización y resistencia de los pueblos logró frenar la reapertura del relleno sanitario donde se depositaba la basura de más de 20 municipios de la zona y de otros estados de la República.
La mentira, el odio y exterminio hacia los pueblos indígenas es la constante del mal gobierno que niega la razón y justicia de los pueblos cholultecas que han decidido, bajo su derecho a la libre determinación el no ingreso de un kilo más de basura en su territorio, y exigen el cierre definitivo del basurero y un plan de abandono que se comprometa a cumplir la empresa Pro-Faj Hidrolimpieza S.A. de C.V. concesionaria del basurero y a quien se le vincula con el candidato a Senador por Morena en Hidalgo Cuauhtémoc Ochoa.
Hacemos responsables de cualquier agresión que ponga en riesgo la integridad de nuestros hermanos defensores del territorio al Gobernador y Secretario de Gobernación de Puebla, demandamos un alto total a los hostigamientos y agresión por parte de los cuerpos policíacos del estado.
Señalamos que la administración federal en espacial, la SEMARNAT a cargo de María Luisa Albores, es directamente responsable de esta política contaminación y de zonas de sacrificio, por ser omisa en el tema.
Como Congreso Nacional Indígena estaremos pendientes de las acciones que tomen nuestras hermanas y hermanos cholultecas el 5 en el Planton contra el Basurero y en Defensa de la Vida, el 14 de mayo en la Plaza de la Concordia de San Pedro Cholula, Puebla y subsecuentes. Llamamos a la solidaridad de todas nuestras hermanas y hermanos en México y el mundo para apoyarles.

CNI | EZLN: STOP THE REPRESSION AGAINST THE OTOMÍ INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY RESIDING IN MEXICO CITY
STOP THE REPRESSION AGAINST THE OTOMÍ INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY RESIDING IN MEXICO CITY
NO TO THE EVICTION OF THE HOUSE OF THE PEOPLE “SAMIR FLORES SOBERANES”
To the people of Mexico and the world,
To the organizations and groups that defend human rights,
To the media.
In response to the recent acts of repression against the Otomí Indigenous Community residing in Mexico City and the attempted eviction of the “Samir Flores Soberanes” House of Indigenous Peoples and Communities, we declare:
On the 16th of October, this year, at dawn, more than 500 grenadiers surrounded the House of Indigenous Peoples and Communities “Samir Flores Soberanes” with the order to carry out the eviction of the Otomí Community. This attempted eviction left 10 companions badly beaten and injured, including 13-year-old adolescents, older adults, and companions with different abilities.
The Otomí Community managed to repel the aggression and make the grenadiers retreat, but the result of this repression is the following: a 28-year-old man received strong blows to the body and was injured with a shield in his forehead, causing a deep injury that required suture; a 17-year-old teenager was attacked by a group of 5 grenadiers who kicked and hit him, causing immobility of one of his legs; a 13-year-old girl was beaten by 3 male grenadiers who kicked her head causing her to faint; an 18-year-old teenager was pushed by an element with a shield, causing her to fall, she was pulled by her hair by a male element, 8 other elements arrived who hit her ribs and back, she was kicked repeatedly, they did not want to let her go, they insulted her, pulled her hair to lift her up, and hit her with a shield on her back, causing pain in her back, ribs, head, arms, and hands; 2 elderly women were beaten and thrown to the floor by several elements and a person who was documenting the attack was attacked by a group of at least 8 elements, who beat her, sprained her finger, and broke one of the lenses of her camera and tried to take away his photography equipment and the cell phone with which she was documenting.
Worse still, and as a true act of provocation, almost an hour after the repression a group of more than 6 motorcyclists approached the House of Peoples to attack and provoke. An hour later, the motorcyclists returned and fired three shots at the members of the Otomi community, not only putting at risk the lives of the members of the Otomí community, but also of those who were in the vicinity.
These acts of repression, discrimination and racism against the Otomí indigenous community took place three days after they celebrated the third anniversary of the occupation of the INPI offices, today named the “Samir Flores Soberanes” House of Indigenous Peoples and Communities.
It is regrettable that more than three years after the INPI occupation, the demand for “decent and decorous housing” continues to be ignored just as it was 3 years ago, but also as it was 30 years ago. No matter the color of the government in power, the indifference and contempt remains the same.
Almost twenty days after the Otomí Indigenous Community began the blockade on Mexico-Coyoacán Avenue, and after the bloody repression of last October 16, the response of the government of Mexico City is an ominous silence that leads us to think about the very high probability that at any moment the government will try again to evict and repress the Otomí Community. Consequently, with the above, we demand the cessation of repression and any attempt to evict our brothers who are members of the Otomi Community.
STOP THE WAR AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF MEXICO AND THE WORLD, TOWARDS THE ZAPATIST PEOPLE AND TOWARDS THE ORIGINARY PEOPLE OF MEXICO!
STOP THE EVICTION OF THE HOUSE OF THE SAMIR PEOPLE FLORES SOBERANES!
NEVER AGAIN A MEXICO WITHOUT US!
FOR THE INTEGRAL RECONSTITUTION OF OUR PEOPLE!
SINCERELY
MEXICO, OCTOBER 2023.
