Chiapas, México, 28 de septiembre. “Sigue y seguirá la lucha por los desaparecidos de Ayotzinapa. Padres y familiares de los desaparecidos, su dolor y rabia es nuestra”, se leyó el pasado 26 de septiembre en los diferentes territorios zapatistas de la geografía chiapaneca. “Vivos se los llevaron, vivos los queremos”, exigieron las Bases de Apoyo del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (BAEZLN), en el sureste de México, a un año de la desaparición forzada de los estudiantes de la normal de Ayotzinapa, en Iguala Guerrero.

En el caso del Caracol zapatista de Oventik, de los Altos de Chiapas, se observaban diferentes mantas de apoyo, de cada municipio autónomo que se dio cita: “la lucha por los desaparecidos de Ayotzinapa seguirá”, afirmaban. También se podían apreciar veladoras para para cada uno de los normalistas agredidos. “Con resistencia y rebeldía exigimos justicia”, externaban en diferentes pancartas las y los rebeldes chiapanecos bajo una llovizna incesante.

POR EL DOLOR, POR LA RABIA, POR LA VERDAD, POR LA JUSTICIA

“Sabe nuestro colectivo corazón, de antes y de ahora, que nuestro dolor no es lamento estéril”

“Sabe que nuestra rabia no es desahogo inútil.”

“Sabemos quienes somos lo que somos, que nuestros dolores y rabias nacen y se alimentan de mentiras e injusticias.”

Oventic, Chiapas, 26 de septiembre de 2015. Miles de Bases de Apoyo del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (BAEZLN), se manifestaron desde temprana hora en sus diferentes territorios en la geografía chiapaneca, en solidaridad con familiares y compañeros de los 43 normalistas desaparecidos de la normal rural de Ayotzinapa en Iguala, Guerrero.

Como lo habían anunciado desde el pasado 24 de septiembre, niños, mujeres, hombres y ancianos de la zona Altos se manifestaron a lo largo de la carretera frente al caracol de Oventic “Corazón céntrico de los zapatistas delante del mundo”, con mantas, carteles, veladoras, portando los nombres de cada uno de los 43 ausentes de la normal de Ayotzinapa.

Alrededor del medio día las BAEZLN ingresaron al caracol para realizar un acto en memoria de “Ayotzinapa y todos los Ayotzinapas que hieren los calendarios y geografías de abajo”.

Bajo una llovizna constante la manifestación se realizó en el contexto de las movilizaciones a nivel nacional e internacional para exigir como desde hace un año la presentación con vida de los normalistas rurales.

From Pain, from Rage, for Truth, for Justice.

September 2015

Compañeras, compañeroas, and compañeros of the Sixth in Mexico and in the World:
Sisters and brothers of the peoples of the Earth:

Our collective heart knows, now as before, that our pain is not a sterile sorrow.

It knows that our rage is not some useless venting.

We, who are what we are, know that our pain and rage are birthed and nourished by lies and injustices.

Because for those who are above at the cost of those of us below, lying is a way of doing politics and they adorn death, forced disappearance, imprisonment, persecution, and murder with the scandal of their corruption.

Those above, whatever the color of their politics, are shameless criminals with impunity. It doesn’t matter if they try to hide behind a change of name and flag; it is always the same face, the same pride, the same ambition, and the same stupidity.

It is as if in their acts of killing and disappearing people they want to kill and disappear memory as well.
From above and from those who make their nests of vileness and perversion there, we will only get lies as salaries and injustice as pay.

To the National and International Sixth:
To the National Indigenous Congress:
To those below in the world:
To whom it may concern:

It is once again made clear that truth and justice will never, ever come from above.

From above the only thing we can expect is pretense, deceit, impunity, and cynicism.

The criminal above will always receive absolution and reward, because the one who judges him is the same one who pays him. They are the same, criminals and judges. They are poisonous heads of the same Hydra.

Now we have a new example:

As Zapatistas, we have realized that the intellectual authors of the murder of the compañero and teacher Galeano have returned, fat and happy, to their homes in the village of La Realidad. They were supposedly being held prisoner for the murder of our teacher and compañero. We already know that they have been declared innocent of this crime by the same people who financed and supported them: the federal and Chiapas state governments. On August 12 of this year, the self-proclaimed “judge” Victor Manuel Zepeda López, of the criminal court in Comitán de Domínguez, Chiapas, declared that Mr. Carmelino Rodríguez Jiménez and Mr. Javier López Rodríguez are innocent, despite that fact that they and their accomplices in the CIOAC-Histórica know that they are guilty of organizing the crime. They aren’t the only ones responsible, but they are guilty.

They were secretly brought back to La Realidad. They were told not to be out and about much and to be discreet, but the pridefulness of those who know they have impunity with regard to justice from above means that they have loose tongues. Thus they are declaring, to anyone who will listen, that they weren’t prisoners at all, but rather staying at a house where they received plentiful attention and congratulations from the state government of Manuel Velasco and the leaders of the CIOAC-Histórica for the murder of the teacher Galeano. They were told that they would have to wait for a time before returning to their village “to continue the work left pending.”

To the people of Mexico and the World

To the National and International Sixth

To the Ñätho indigenous community of San Francisco Xochicuautla

Faced with the dignified struggle that the Ñätho community of San Francisco Xochicuautla has maintained for the last eight years against the Toluca-Naucalpan toll road project which threatens the destruction of their sacred forest in order to connect the wealthy zones of Interlomas to the Toluca airport, the bad government, led by the murderer Enrique Peña Nieto, signed a decree of expropriation with which it intends to snatch up the communal territory of San Francisco Xochicuautla.

Throughout the years we have seen which interests the bad governments respond to, given that their security forces escort the Autovan machinery, a company belonging to the Higa Group, with which they plan to destroy the Ñätho forest. They believe that with this decree of expropriation they can impose plunder and destruction. Today we say that we know that the bad government has always trampled our rights as indigenous peoples, that they despise us, and that they may go to every corner of Mexico to impose their death projects, but they won’t be able to do so in San Francisco Xochicuautla.

The community has carried out a legal battle, appealing to different courts and agencies of the Mexican bad government, but most of those have proven partial to protecting the powerful.

We know that San Francisco Xochicuautla has defended and will defend their territory, as well as having accompanied many peoples and communities in their struggles.

So today we call upon the people of Mexico and the World, on the brothers and sisters of the National and International Sixth, to be attentive to what happens in the struggle of San Francisco Xochicuautla.

To San Francisco Xochicuautla, we say that you are not alone in this shared journey of indigenous peoples’ resistance.

Sincerely,

Never again a Mexico without us

If you have not received an email with a “pass” to the second grade, it could be because…

…the email address you used to register for first grade has expired, or was erased, or you have forgotten your password.

…you have the same email but you haven’t received a “pass” because we got mixed up and we need your information again…or because you didn’t pass to second grade. If after following the instructions we detail below you don’t receive a “pass” email within a month, then it’s because you didn’t pass first grade.

In either case, the way to resolve the issue is simple: it is sufficient to send a new email to this address: casosespeciales@ezln.org.mx, from a new email account with the following information:

• your full name and date of birth
• where you live
• your registration code if you remember it or have it
• the dates in which you went to first grade
• the place where you went to first grade (if you went to a community, the name of the community and the caracol it corresponds to); (if it was by videoconference, the name of the place, neighborhood, city, country, and continent where you had the videoconference)
• the name of your Votán.
