Compañera Emilia:
We got the news just a few hours ago. We don’t know how long it will take for these lines to reach you, but we know that regardless of the date, you will be able to read in these words the collective embrace that we send you.
That is because here we also feel the pain and sorrow of the death of Don Félix Serdán Nájera, honorary officer in our Zapatista Army for National Liberation, this past February 22 in the early morning hours.
We remember Don Félix’s firm and tender gaze, but we also remember your presence. It is as if between the two of you your journey was complete. That’s why we say that his absence brings us pain, but we also hurt for the pain that you feel in your heart today, Doña Emilia.
That is why with these words we not only want to salute the memory of compañero Felix Serdán, but to embrace you as well.
Ninth Worldwide Mobilization for Ayotzinapa and for Mexico.
[showtime]
This February 26, on the 5-month anniversary of the abduction of the students from Ayotzinapa, the ninth worldwide day of movement for Ayotzinapa and Mexico took place. During the demonstration in Mexico City, parents of the missing students and guest speakers asked those present and society in general not to abandon them, since they intend to keep struggling. They also remembered the teacher Claudio Castillo Peña, murdered in Guerrero during a CETEG demonstration, and finally they called on peole not to vote and not to allow yet one more historic lie.
At the end of the day, a group of police officers encircled a group that intended to “liberate” the Metro. Near the Metro Sevilla a confrontation took place, where some of the demonstrators–mostly minors–were injured and others arrested.
