Journey to Europe…
Sixth Commission of the EZLN
Mexico
April 10, 2021
To the people, groups, collectives, organizations, movements, coordinating bodies, and indigenous peoples in Europe that await our visit:
To the Sixth in Mexico and abroad:
To the networks in resistance and rebellion:
To the National Indigenous Congress:
To the peoples of the world:
Brothers, sisters, and compañer@s:
On April 10, 2021, the compañer@s who make up the first delegation of our Journey for Life, European Chapter, gathered together at the “Semillero Comandanta Ramona” to begin their voyage across the ocean.
During a small ceremony held in accord with our customs and practices, the delegation received the mandate of the Zapatista people to carry our thought far and wide, that is, to share what is in our hearts. Our delegates carry with them a big heart, not just to embrace those on the European continent who are in rebellion and resistance, but also to listen and learn from their histories, geographies, calendars, and ways of being.
This first group will remain in quarantine for 15 days, isolated in the Semillero to make sure that no one is infected with COVID-19 and also so that they can prepare themselves for the time that it will take to cross the ocean. During these two weeks, they will be living in a replica of the boat that was built in the Semillero for that purpose.
On April 26, 2021, they will leave for a port in the Mexican Republic, arriving no later than April 30, and board the boat that we have named “The Mountain.” For two or three days and nights, they will remain on board the boat, and on May 3, 2021, the day of Saint Cruz, Chan Santa Cruz, “The Mountain” will set sail with our companer@s toward the coast of Europe on a journey estimated to take 6 to 8 weeks. They are expected to land on the European coast during the second half of June, 2021.
Beginning on April 15, 2021, our companer@s who are bases of support from 12 different Zapatistas municipalities will hold activities to send off the Zapatista delegation that will travel across land and water to that geography called “Europe.”
During this part of what we have called the “Journey for Life, European Chapter,” the Zapatista delegates will meet with those who have invited us to discuss our shared histories, pain, rage, successes, and failures. Up until now, we have received and accepted invitations from the following places:
Germany
Austria
Belgium
Bulgaria
Catalonia
Sardinia
Cyprus
Croatia
Denmark
Slovenia
Spain
France
Greece
Holland
Hungary
Italy
Luxembourg
Norway
Basque Country
Poland
Portugal
United Kingdom
Romania
Russia
Serbia
Sweden
Switzerland
Turkey
-*-
Starting on that day, Subcomandante Insurgente Galeano will be publishing a series of texts in which we will share who makes up the Zapatista maritime delegation, the work that they have done, some of the problems that they have faced, and so on.
In conclusion: we are off on our journey to Europe.
That’s all for now.

(Español) Se intensifican agresiones armadas en contra de pobladores de Aldama durante este fin de semana
- Actualización de Acción Urgente
Este Centro de Derechos Humanos Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas recibió información por parte de la Comisión Permanente de los 115 Comuneros y Desplazados de Aldama, quienes refieren una intensificación en la detonación de armas de fuego provenientes del territorio de Santa Martha (municipio de Chenalhó), dirigidas en contra de poblados de Aldama. Esta situación ha causado un estado de alerta y precariedad en la región, además de que implica un riesgo a la vida e integridad física y psicológica de los habitantes de la región.
Durante el sábado 10 de abril se reportó que los disparos provenientes de Santa Martha, eran prácticamente cada minuto; y que las agresiones se extienden a lo largo de 11 kilómetros que limitan a Aldama con el territorio de Santa Martha, dirigiendo los disparos contra “todas las personas que ven”. El día de hoy se continúan reportando disparos provenientes del territorio de Santa Martha.
Por lo anterior urgimos la intervención del Estado, a fin de evitar que más personas sean asesinadas o lesionadas por la violencia cometida por grupos armados, de corte paramiltiar que operan en la región, así como para asegurar un ambiente de paz necesario para el desarrollo pleno de los habitantes de ambas poblaciones.
Invitamos a la sociedad civil nacional e internacional a firmar la acción urgente y urgir al Estado mexicano intervenga en el presente caso.
