Que si esa palabra es maya o es de otro planeta, porque no est\u00e1 en sus diccionarios, ni en su cabeza, ni en su vida.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y s\u00ed, llevan tanto tiempo de serviles y huele-colas de los ricos, que ya se les olvid\u00f3 qu\u00e9 es dignidad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Como esos malos gobiernos est\u00e1n hallados a rendirse, a venderse, a claudicarse, pues piensan que as\u00ed es toda la gente, que as\u00ed es todo el mundo, que no hay quien diga, piense, luche, viva y muera de no rendirse, no venderse, no claudicar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Por eso no entienden el zapatismo. Por eso no entienden los mil nombres que toman la resistencia y la rebeld\u00eda en muchos rincones de M\u00e9xico y del mundo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y as\u00ed es el sistema, compa\u00f1era, compa\u00f1ero, hermano, hermana, que lo que no entiende lo manda perseguir, encarcelar, asesinar, desaparecer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Porque quiere el mundo domado, como si la gente fuera una bestia de carga que tiene que obedecer lo que diga el amo, el mand\u00f3n, y que si no obedece, pues chicote, palo, encierro, balazo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">O sea que como que para el capitalismo, la resistencia y la rebeld\u00eda es como una enfermedad que lo ataca, lo pone de malas, le da dolor de cabeza, le da una patada en los <\/span><span lang=\"es-ES\"><i>coyolitos<\/i><\/span><span lang=\"es-ES\">, le escupe en la cara. Lo pone mal, pues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y la medicina que el capitalismo da para eso, son los polic\u00edas, las c\u00e1rceles, los ej\u00e9rcitos, los paramilitares, los cementerios si tienes suerte, si no, pues a saber d\u00f3nde te botan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y aunque no seas resistencia y rebeld\u00eda, aunque seg\u00fan t\u00fa est\u00e1s tranquilo y eres buen ciudadano y votas por como se llame el Trump que te toca en tu calendario y tu geograf\u00eda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y aunque criticas y te quejas de los que protestan y se rebelan. Y dices \u201cya p\u00f3nganse a trabajar y dejen de quejarse\u201d cuando protestan de Acteal, o de Guarder\u00eda ABC, o de Atenco, o de Ayotzinapa, o de Mapuche, o del nombre que tome la siguiente desgracia que pase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y crees que todo eso est\u00e1 muy lejos de tu casa, de tu calle, de tu pueblo o colonia, de tu trabajo, de tu escuela, de tu familia, pero no. Todo eso que se sabe y muchos horrores que no se saben, est\u00e1n ah\u00ed cerca de ti.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Pues aunque crees que no te va a tocar, pues resulta que s\u00ed te va a tocar, a ti o a alguien cercano a ti.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Porque el sistema y sus gobiernos ya no tienen control, ya est\u00e1n enloquecidos, ya se emborracharon de dinero y de sangre, y pasan a llevar todo y a todos y, sobre todo, a todas y a <\/span><span lang=\"es-ES\"><i><b>todoas<\/b><\/i><\/span><span lang=\"es-ES\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Entonces, hermana, hermano, compa\u00f1ero, compa\u00f1era, si t\u00fa piensas que s\u00ed es cierto que la situaci\u00f3n est\u00e1 muy dif\u00edcil y que ya no se aguanta, entonces falta saber qu\u00e9 vas a hacer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Si piensas que alguien, que sea un l\u00edder, un partido, una vanguardia lo va a resolver todos los problemas y s\u00f3lo tienes que poner un papelito de voto y ya, tan f\u00e1cil, pues pi\u00e9nsalo bien si as\u00ed va a ser.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Entonces, estas palabras no son para ti. Qu\u00e9date tranquilo o tranquila esperando la nueva burla, el nuevo fraude, el nuevo enga\u00f1o, la nueva mentira, la nueva desilusi\u00f3n. Que no son nuevas, son las mismas de siempre, s\u00f3lo cambian de fecha en el calendario.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Pero tal vez piensas que de repente se puede hacer algo m\u00e1s. Y te preguntas si s\u00ed se puede, o es que la lucha, la resistencia, la rebeld\u00eda, s\u00f3lo est\u00e1n en las canciones, las poes\u00edas, los carteles y los cementerios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y pues te decimos que nosotros, nosotras, zapatistas, nos preguntamos eso mismo hace 24 a\u00f1os cuando salimos a morirnos en las calles y plazas de tus ciudades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y as\u00ed nos viste. Y as\u00ed nos vieron tambi\u00e9n quienes se dicen grandes dirigentes revolucionarios y nos despreciaron antes, como nos desprecian ahora, que se enteraron de nuestra lucha cuando cenaban y re\u00edan en sus festejos de a\u00f1o nuevo, mientras nosotros, nosotras, zapatistas del EZLN, pon\u00edamos la vida y la muerte, donde \u00e9sos ponen los museos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y entonces pues nos respondimos. Respondimos que vamos a ver si se puede vivir con dignidad sin malos gobiernos, sin dirigentes y sin l\u00edderes y sin vanguardias que mucho Lenin y mucho Marx y mucho trago, pero nada de estar con nosotros, nosotras, zapatistas. Mucho hablar de lo que debemos o no hacer, y nada de pr\u00e1ctica. Que la vanguardia, que el proletariado, que el partido, que la revoluci\u00f3n, que \u00e9chate una cervecita, un vinito, un asado con la familia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Pues ni modos, pensamos, creo que la vanguardia revolucionaria est\u00e1 ocupada en probarse trajes y palabras para el triunfo, as\u00ed que tenemos que darle seg\u00fan nuestro modo, como ind\u00edgenas zapatistas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Que no son muchos los ind\u00edgenas, y son todav\u00eda menos los zapatistas, porque ser zapatista no cualquiera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y as\u00ed fue como empezamos eso que ahora se conoce como autonom\u00eda zapatista, pero que nosotros decimos que es la libertad seg\u00fan nosotras, nosotros, zapatistas, que ni amo, ni patr\u00f3n, ni capataz, ni l\u00edder, ni dirigente, ni vanguardia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Durante estos 24 a\u00f1os hemos venido construyendo nuestra autonom\u00eda, desarrollando nuestras diferentes \u00e1reas de trabajo, consolidando nuestras tres instancias de gobierno aut\u00f3nomo, formalizando nuestros propios sistemas de salud y educaci\u00f3n, creando y fortaleciendo nuestros trabajos colectivos, y en todo estos espacios de autonom\u00eda es donde cuenta la participaci\u00f3n de todos y todas mujeres, hombres, j\u00f3venes y ni\u00f1@s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y as\u00ed estamos demostrando que nosotros los pueblos originarios, tenemos la facultad y la capacidad de gobernarnos solos, no necesitamos la intervenci\u00f3n de ning\u00fan partido pol\u00edtico que solo enga\u00f1a, promete y divide a nuestros pueblos y no estamos recibiendo ning\u00fan tipo de apoyo de los gobiernos oficiales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Tampoco aceptamos que nadie nos venga a decir qu\u00e9 podemos hacer y qu\u00e9 no podemos hacer. Aqu\u00ed todo lo discutimos y lo acordamos en colectivo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y por lo mismo a veces tardamos, pero lo que sale es de colectivo. Si sale bien, es de colectivo. Si sale mal, es de colectivo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">As\u00ed es nuestro modo, y si est\u00e1 bien o mal, ah\u00ed lo vean y comparen sus pobrezas con las nuestras, sus muertes con las nuestras, sus enfermedades con las nuestras, sus ausencias con las nuestras, sus dolores con los nuestros, y vean que est\u00e1n comparando sus pesadillas con nuestros sue\u00f1os.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Estamos viviendo y luchando con el propio esfuerzo individual y colectivo como zapatistas que somos, pero s\u00ed, reconocemos que todav\u00eda nos falta mucho por hacer, hace falta organizarnos m\u00e1s como pueblos, todav\u00eda tenemos muchas dificultades para desarrollar bien nuestras diferentes \u00e1reas de trabajo, tambi\u00e9n fallamos y cometemos errores como todo ser humano, pero nos corregimos y seguimos adelante.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Porque nuestra organizaci\u00f3n somos nosotras, nosotros mismos. Nadie que no sea un sinverg\u00fcenza, vividor y mentiroso puede decir que nos hizo. Y no tenemos miedo de reconocer lo que hacemos mal, y de sentirnos contentos de lo que hacemos bien. Porque lo malo y lo bueno que somos, es nuestro. A nosotras, nosotros, nos valora nuestra propia gente. Aunque luego hay quienes viajan y se pasean en Europa y comen bien y toman trago diciendo que ellos hicieron, y ahora hasta inventan su propia \u201cFrida Sof\u00eda\u201d para conseguir atenci\u00f3n y paga, y ofrecen dinero para comprar consciencias y creen que la lucha viene con el apellido y no con el compromiso real, y se al\u00edan con los narcotraficantes para atacarnos. Y lo \u00fanico que pasa es que son sinverg\u00fcenzas y mentirosos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Porque, llevando a esos disque revolucionarios y a sus paramilitares de la mano, los malos gobiernos siguen empe\u00f1ados por destruir y acabar nuestra lucha, nuestra resistencia y rebeld\u00eda con una guerra econ\u00f3mica, pol\u00edtica, ideol\u00f3gica, social y cultural, repartiendo migajas y limosnas a los que est\u00e1n afiliados en los partidos donde considera estrat\u00e9gico, porque solo da m\u00e1s apoyo econ\u00f3mico, vivienda y reparte alimentos y proyectos, a veces como gobiernos, a veces como partido, y a veces como supuestos derechos humanos, donde hay zapatistas y adem\u00e1s usan todos los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n para difundir sus mentiras, sus malas ideas, sus promesas, sus enga\u00f1os bien maquillados; todo esto es con el objetivo de debilitar la resistencia de los zapatistas, con la intensi\u00f3n de dividir, confrontar y comprar conciencias de la gente ind\u00edgena y pobre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Nosotras y nosotros las y los zapatistas, no somos limosneros sino que somos pueblos con dignidad, con decisi\u00f3n y consciencia para luchar por la verdadera democracia, libertad y justicia, nosotros y nosotras estamos bien claros y seguros que de all\u00e1 arriba nunca vendr\u00e1 nada bueno para los pueblos, no podemos esperar que la soluci\u00f3n de nuestros problemas y necesidades venga de los malos gobernantes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y sabemos qui\u00e9n s\u00ed y qui\u00e9n no ha estado junto a nosotros, nosotras zapatistas, desde antes del inicio, en ese primero de enero, y en estos 24 a\u00f1os de resistencia y rebeld\u00eda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">El mal gobierno, los vanguardistas paramilitares y los ricos nunca nos van a dejar vivir en paz, buscar\u00e1n mil formas para destruir y acabar la organizaci\u00f3n y las luchas del pueblo, porque en estos \u00faltimos a\u00f1os han crecido sin medida los cr\u00edmenes, la persecuci\u00f3n, desapariciones, encarcelamientos injustos, represiones, desalojos, torturas y asesinatos, s\u00f3lo mencionar algunos como San Salvador Atenco, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Ayotzinapa, etc. y entre las comunidades y municipios han provocado m\u00e1s contradicciones y enfrentamientos, y hacen que los problemas no se resuelvan de buena manera si no que sea mediante la violencia, por eso sigue manteniendo, protegiendo y equipando grupos paramilitares, porque los malos gobiernos quieren que nos matemos entre hermanos del mismo pueblo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Por todo lo que est\u00e1 pasando demuestra de que ya no hay gobierno en nuestros pueblos, municipios, estados y de nuestro pa\u00eds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Los que se dicen que gobiernan, ya s\u00f3lo son ladrones que se engordan m\u00e1s a costa del pueblo, son criminales y asesinos, son capataces, mayordomos y caporales de los patrones que son los grandes capitalistas neoliberales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Son buenos defensores de <\/span><span lang=\"es-ES\">los intereses de sus patrones para saquear las riquezas naturales de nuestro pa\u00eds y en el mundo, como la tierra, los bosques, las monta\u00f1as, el agua, los r\u00edos, los lagos, lagunas, el aire y las minas que est\u00e1n guardadas en el seno de nuestra madre tierra, porque el patr\u00f3n todo lo considera una mercanc\u00eda y as\u00ed nos quieren destruir por completo, es decir, acabar con la vida y la humanidad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Por eso como pueblos originarios de este pa\u00eds quienes conformamos el Congreso Nacional Ind\u00edgena, hemos acordado dar un paso y conformar el Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno y a nuestra vocera Mar\u00eda de Jes\u00fas Patricio Mart\u00ednez, que convoca, que concientiza, que informa, que levanta el \u00e1nimo y hace un llamado a todos los sectores de trabajadores del campo y la ciudad a organizarnos, a unirnos y a luchar juntos con resistencia y rebeld\u00eda desde nuestros pueblos y nuestros centros de trabajo, desde nuestros calendarios y geograf\u00edas para que as\u00ed podamos defendernos de la hidra capitalista que ya est\u00e1 sobre nosotros.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Pero los gobiernos y los patrones que son los grandes capitalistas, imponen la llamada Ley de Seguridad Interior, es decir, la militarizaci\u00f3n de nuestras calles, nuestros caminos y nuestros pueblos en todo el pa\u00eds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Y todav\u00eda nos hacen creer que es para combatir al crimen organizado cuando en realidad la idea que tienen es para mantenernos controlados, callados, divididos, amenazados, con m\u00e1s violencia e impunidad hacia los pueblos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Por eso nosotros y nosotras las y los zapatistas decimos que ya no hay que confiar absolutamente nada en este sistema capitalista donde vivimos, porque ya nos dimos cuenta, y desde hace cientos de a\u00f1os estamos sufriendo toda sus maldades sin distinci\u00f3n de personas ni de partido.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Debemos de organizarnos y unirnos todo los sectores de trabajadores del campo y la ciudad, ind\u00edgenas, campesinos, maestros, estudiantes, amas de casa, artistas, comerciantes, empleados, obreros, doctores, intelectuales y cient\u00edficos de nuestro pa\u00eds y del mundo, el \u00fanico camino que nos queda por hacer, es que <\/span><span lang=\"es-ES\">debemos unirnos m\u00e1s, organizarnos mejor para construir nuestra autonom\u00eda, nuestra organizaci\u00f3n propia como pueblos y trabajadores, porque es la que nos va a salvar de la gran tormenta que se acerca o ya est\u00e1 sobre nosotros que va a barrer a todos y todas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Por eso es que en este cumplea\u00f1os que son ya 24 a\u00f1os de nuestro alzamiento armado en este planeta tierra, hoy queremos hablarles a nuestras compa\u00f1eras de la sexta nacional e internacional.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Queremos hablar tambi\u00e9n a las hermanas de M\u00e9xico y del mundo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">As\u00ed que compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eros de la sexta nacional e internacional.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Hermanas y hermanos del mundo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cuando decimos que llevamos m\u00e1s de 500 a\u00f1os de explotaci\u00f3n, represi\u00f3n, desprecio y despojo. No estamos mintiendo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Ya pasamos y sufrimos las guerras de los malos gobiernos y de los ricos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">No nos pueden decir que es mentira. Fueron nuestras tatarabuelas y tatarabuelos los que dieron su sangre y sus vidas para subir al poder a los mismos explotadores que son los tatarabuelos de los que est\u00e1n ahora en el poder. Esto no nos pueden decir que es mentira, ah\u00ed est\u00e1n. Son los culpables que ahora est\u00e1n destruy\u00e9ndonos y a la madre naturaleza tambi\u00e9n.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">No nos vamos a dejar de luchar, hasta morir si es preciso.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Y hoy tenemos m\u00e1s ganas de luchar, con nuestras compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eros del Congreso Nacional Indigena.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Apoyamos m\u00e1s a la compa\u00f1era <i>Marichuy<\/i> y las compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eros del Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Les guste o no les guste a algunas o algunos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Lo hemos dejado bien claro, desde el principio. Recuerdo en la Convenci\u00f3n Nacional Democr\u00e1tica, en 1994 en Guadalupe Tepeyac, que dijimos: \u201cNos hacemos a un lado, si nos muestran que hay otro camino para que nos derroten nuestro ser armado\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Y hasta hoy no nos han mostrado ese otro camino para derrotar al sistema de muerte y destrucci\u00f3n que es el capitalismo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Los que nos est\u00e1n mostrando el camino, son las compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eros del Congreso Nacional Ind\u00edgena, con la compa\u00f1era Marichuy y el Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno. Y los apoyamos sin dejar de ser lo que somos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Y no nos da pena ni verg\u00fcenza apoyarlos. Porque lo sabemos bien que no est\u00e1n buscando el Poder o tener cargo, sino que su trabajo es llevar el mensaje de que hay que organizarse para la vida. As\u00ed de claro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Y claro que hay algunas y algunos mentirosos que andan diciendo que ya somos <i>electoristas<\/i>. Es una vil mentira y son personas castellanos que saben leer y escribir, pero que no leen o que salen con sus ma\u00f1as de mentirosos. Qu\u00e9 l\u00e1stima, que pena que no tienen entendimiento y no tienen verg\u00fcenza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Nadie nos va quitar lo que somos, s\u00f3lo cuando ya estemos muertas y muertos o cuando ya somos libres.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Hermanas y hermanos de M\u00e9xico y del mundo, no se dejen enga\u00f1ar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">En M\u00e9xico no hay ya lugar donde puedes caminar tranquilo, donde quiera te agarran y te matan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Muchas maldades del capitalismo aqu\u00ed en M\u00e9xico y el mundo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Muchas otras cosas m\u00e1s, esto es lo que nos est\u00e1n diciendo las compa\u00f1eras del Congreso Nacional Ind\u00edgena y su vocera Marichuy y el Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Mucho nos burlan, que la compa\u00f1era Marichuy no sabe gobernar, nos no va dar nada. Hermanas y hermanos, \u00bfqu\u00e9 les han dado los gobiernos del PRI y del PAN? \u00bfQu\u00e9 no han hecho matanzas, corrupciones, malas decisiones? \u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1 eso que dicen que s\u00f3lo saben gobernar los que tienen estudios? \u00bfNo alcanzan a ver esto?<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Esto es lo quiere decirles la compa\u00f1era Marichuy, cuando les dice que nos organicemos el campo y la cuidad, y que nos unimos ind\u00edgenas y no ind\u00edgenas, porque vean de que tama\u00f1o lo que nos ha pasado con esos gobiernos malos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 les ha dado este imb\u00e9cil que esta ahora en el gobierno? El Pe\u00f1a Nieto es el peor c\u00ednico, inepto y sinverg\u00fcenza, que se cubre con los otros igualitos que \u00e9l.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Que a ellos no les pasa nada y al pueblo explotado todo lo paga con su vida, \u00bfqu\u00e9 les pasa que no alcanzan a ver?<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 se mueven hasta cuando les pasen esas peores situaciones? \u00bfPor qu\u00e9, a los que no les pasa, y hacen como que no ven y no se mueven; y cuando ya les pas\u00f3 salen gritando, ayuda, ay\u00fadenme?<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Y cuando les habla la compa\u00f1era Marichuy, que no tiene buen discurso, no sabe hablar, dicen. Ah ese Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno, pero no sabe nada, as\u00ed dicen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">El Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno les est\u00e1 diciendo la verdad. \u00bfNo quieren la verdad? Ah, es que no les gusta. \u00bfQuieren que les hablen bonito y les regalen promesas? Y cuando llegue el dolor a tocar a tu puerta, \u00bfle vas a responder con promesas?<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Hermanas y hermanos ind\u00edgenas y no ind\u00edgenas, por nosotras y nosotros nadie va luchar por nosotras y nosotros, nadie absolutamente nadie, m\u00e1s que nosotras y nosotros mismos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Despertemos a los otros pueblos explotados y despertemos tambi\u00e9n a los que dicen que tienen estudio. Por eso ayudemos y apoyemos a la compa\u00f1era Marichuy con el Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Organic\u00e9monos para que pueda dar su gira en el pa\u00eds la Compa\u00f1era Marichuy y su Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno, aunque no alcance las firmas para candidata. Porque la firma no es la que lucha, no es la que nos va a organizar, somos nosotras y nosotros las que tenemos que escucharnos, conocernos y de ah\u00ed, al sentirnos como estamos, ah\u00ed puede partir nuestro pensamiento de c\u00f3mo organizarnos m\u00e1s mejor y qu\u00e9 camino seguir.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Nadie m\u00e1s va a decir la palabra que dicen el Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno y la vocera Marichuy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Si no lo dicen ellas, s\u00f3lo van a escuchar puro ruido, el mismo ruido de siempre, y luego seguir\u00e1 la misma desilusi\u00f3n de siempre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">No permitamos que nos digan \u201cpobrecitos de los indios, ayudemos con lo que sobra\u201d al igual como nos hacen los gobiernos malos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">S\u00f3lo con organizaci\u00f3n del pueblo pobre del campo y la ciudad, habr\u00e1 Libertad, justicia y democracia. Si no hay eso, lo que habr\u00e1 es un mundo como FINCA CAPITALISTA y esto es lo que ya esta empezando.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Si hay alguien mujer u hombre que piensan y creen que es mentira lo que estamos diciendo de la hidra capitalista, bueno que nos argumenta, que nos diga claramente c\u00f3mo es eso que es una mentira lo que estamos diciendo a ver si la vamos a creer, porque nuestro sentir y ver y conocer es que vemos es que as\u00ed est\u00e1 y as\u00ed va a estar. O tal vez lo que se ve es que es dif\u00edcil, luchar, organizar, pero no hay de otra.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Sabemos que es duro lo que estamos diciendo, pero \u00bfacaso muy suavecito, blandito lo que vendr\u00e1 lo de la hidra capitalista?<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">No, hermanas, hermanos, ser\u00e1 horrible, terrible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Por eso las compa\u00f1eras bases de apoyo Zapatistas est\u00e1n llamando a las compa\u00f1eras del Congreso Nacional Ind\u00edgena y a todas las mujeres que luchan a encontrarse para el 8 de Marzo a las mujeres que no tienen miedo, aunque si tienen pero hay que controlar, porque ser\u00e1 m\u00e1s horrible lo otro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Porque ellas, las mujeres zapatistas, las mujeres del CNI, las mujeres de la Sexta, y las mujeres que luchan en todas partes del mundo, nos est\u00e1n diciendo que tenemos que organizar, rebelarnos, resistir.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Y eso es lo que nos est\u00e1n diciendo tambi\u00e9n la compa\u00f1era Marichuy y el Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">As\u00ed que adelante compa\u00f1era Marichuy, camine, trotee, y cuando se necesita corre y detente y luego contin\u00fae, no nos queda ya de otra.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Sigan adelante Compa\u00f1eras del Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Adelante compa\u00f1eras del Congreso Nacional Ind\u00edgena.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span lang=\"es-ES\">Estamos seguros que si los pueblos se organizan y luchan, vamos a lograr lo que queremos, lo que merecemos, o sea nuestra libertad.

We let the people of Mexico and the world know our demands for Democracy, Freedom, and Justice for all. We demanded land, work, dignified housing, food, health, education, independence, democracy, freedom, justice, and peace.<\/p>\n<p>Now violence is everywhere, and it kills women and children, elders and youth, and even mother nature falls victim to it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we say that our struggle is a struggle for life, for a dignified life.<\/p>\n<p>And capitalism is a system of violent death, of destruction, of exploitation, of theft, of contempt.<\/p>\n<p>That is what we originary peoples and the great majority of the inhabitants of this country Mexico and all over the world are lacking.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Because I ask you: Who has a dignified life? Who isn\u2019t wracked by worry that they might be murdered, robbed, mocked, humiliated, exploited?<\/p>\n<p>If someone out there is calm and unworried, well, then these words aren\u2019t for you.<\/p>\n<p>But perhaps you do see and feel that things are getting worse every day.<\/p>\n<p>These days it\u2019s not just that work is poorly paid and the pay isn\u2019t enough to get by on.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s also that organized crime, especially the governments, steal, or worse, kill us just because, because it makes them feel good.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you think that this is happening because your god wants it that way, or because of bad luck, or because it just happens to be your destiny, well then these words aren\u2019t for you either.<\/p>\n<p>Our demands are just and, as we said publicly 24 years ago, they\u2019re not only for us originary or indigenous peoples; anyone who isn\u2019t a criminal or an idiot or both knows that they are just demands which become more necessary and urgent with each passing day.<\/p>\n<p>But the response of the bad governments was: here\u2019s your handout, now get over it. And if you keep making demands, I\u2019ve got my great armies, my police forces, my judges, my prisons, my paramilitaries, my drug traffickers\u2014and all you have are cemeteries.<\/p>\n<p>So we Zapatistas said to them: we\u2019re not asking for handouts, we want respect for our dignity.<\/p>\n<p>And the bad governments said they didn\u2019t know what \u201cdignity\u201d was. They said it must be a Mayan word, or from another planet, because it\u2019s not in their dictionaries, or in their heads, or in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, they\u2019ve been servile ass-kissers of the rich for so long, they\u2019ve already forgotten what dignity is.<\/p>\n<p>Since these bad governments are resigned to giving up, selling out, and giving in, they think that everyone is like that, that the whole world is like that, that there\u2019s no one who speaks, thinks, struggles, lives and dies without giving up, selling out, or giving in.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why they don\u2019t understand Zapatismo. That\u2019s why they don\u2019t understand the thousands of forms that resistance and rebellion take in many corners of Mexico and the world.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s what the system is like, <em>compa\u00f1era<\/em>, <em>compa\u00f1ero<\/em>, brother, sister: whatever it doesn\u2019t understand, it orders persecuted, imprisoned, murdered, disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Because it wants the world to be tamed, as if people were just beasts of burden who have to obey whatever the master or the boss says, and if they don\u2019t obey, well then they get the whip, the stick, the jail cell, the bullet.<\/p>\n<p>For capitalism, resistance and rebellion are like a disease that attacks it, makes it sick, gives it a headache, gives it a kick in the balls, spits in its face. I mean, resistance and rebellion make it really ill.<\/p>\n<p>And the medicine capitalism uses against resistance and rebellion are the police, the prisons, the armies, the paramilitaries, the cemeteries if you\u2019re lucky, but if not who knows where they\u2019ll toss you.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s the same even if you\u2019re not in resistance and rebellion, if according to you you\u2019re calm and content and a good citizen and you vote for whatever Trump your calendar and geography places before you.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the same even if you criticize and complain about those who protest and rebel, and you declare \u201cGet to work already and stop complaining,\u201d when they protest over Acteal, or ABC Daycare, or Atenco, or Ayotzinapa, or the Mapuche, or over whatever the name of the next tragic thing to occur.<\/p>\n<p>You think all of this is far from your home, your street, your community or neighborhood, your job, your school, your family\u2026but no. All these known horrors, and many that are unknown, are right there, close to you.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you think it won\u2019t affect you, it will\u2014you or someone close to you.<\/p>\n<p>Because the system and its governments are out of control, they\u2019ve gone mad, they got drunk on money and blood, and they\u2019re coming to take everything and everyone, above all, women and people of other genders [<em>todas <\/em>and<em> todoas<\/em>].<\/p>\n<p>So then, sister, brother, <em>compa\u00f1ero<\/em>, <em>compa\u00f1era<\/em>, if you agree that the situation is very bad and that it\u2019s become unlivable, then you\u2019ve got to figure out what you\u2019re going to do.<\/p>\n<p>If you think that someone\u2014a leader, a political party, or a vanguard\u2014is going to solve all these problems and you just have to hand in a little piece of paper with your vote on it and that\u2019s it, easy as that, then you need to think harder about whether that\u2019s really what\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>And if you do think that, than these words aren\u2019t for you. Just sit tight and wait for the next mockery, the next fraud, the next act of deceit, the next lie, the next disillusionment. They\u2019re not new\u2014they\u2019re the same ones as always, they\u2019ve just changed dates on the calendar.<\/p>\n<p>But maybe you think that something more can be done. And you ask yourself if it really can be done, or if struggle, resistance and rebellion only exist in songs, poetry, posters and cemeteries.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re telling you that we Zapatistas asked ourselves that same thing 24 years ago when we went out to die in the streets and plazas of your cities.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when you saw us. That\u2019s when the so-called great revolutionary leaders saw us, and they looked down on us then just as they do now. They found out about our struggle while they were dining and laughing at their new year\u2019s celebrations. While we Zapatistas of the EZLN put our lives on the line, they just put up museums.<\/p>\n<p>And so we responded. We responded that we were going to see if we could live with dignity without bad governments, without leaders and vanguards with all their Lenin and Marx and booze who won\u2019t stand by us Zapatistas. They talk a lot about what we should or shouldn\u2019t do, but without practicing anything themselves. There\u2019s a lot of hot air about the vanguard this, the proletariat that, the party this, the revolution that, have a beer, some wine, a cook-out with the family.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we thought, it seems the revolutionary vanguard is busy trying on outfits and trying out speeches for their victory, so we\u2019ll have to do it our way, as indigenous Zapatistas.<\/p>\n<p>They aren\u2019t that many indigenous people, and even fewer Zapatistas, because not just anyone can be a Zapatista.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s how we started what is now known as Zapatista autonomy, but we call it freedom according to the Zapatistas, with no master, boss, overseer, leader, or vanguard.<\/p>\n<p>For these 24 years we\u2019ve been constructing our autonomy, developing our different work areas, consolidating our three levels of autonomous government, formalizing our own health and education systems, creating and strengthening our collective work. And in all of these autonomous spaces we value the participation of all women, men, young people and children.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, we are demonstrating that we as originary people have the power and the capacity to govern ourselves. We don\u2019t need the intervention of any political party that will just cheat, make promises, and divide our communities; and we don\u2019t receive any kind of support from official governments.<\/p>\n<p>We also don\u2019t accept anyone coming to tell us what we can or cannot do. Here we discuss and agree upon everything as a collective.<\/p>\n<p>Because of that, sometimes things take a while, but what comes out of the process is a collective result. If it turns out well, it\u2019s collective. If it turns out badly, it\u2019s collective.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s our way\u2014see for yourselves if it\u2019s good or bad. Compare your poverty with ours, your deaths with ours, your diseases with ours, your absences with ours, your pain with ours, and you\u2019ll see that you\u2019re comparing your nightmares with our dreams.<\/p>\n<p>We are living and struggling through our own individual and collective effort as Zapatistas, but yes, we recognize that we still have a lot to do, we still have to organize ourselves as communities even more. We still face many difficulties in developing our different work areas. We also fail and make mistakes like all human beings, but we correct ourselves and keep going.<\/p>\n<p>Because we ourselves make up our organization. No one, unless they\u2019re a shameless liar and opportunist, can say that they created us. And we\u2019re not afraid to recognize what we do wrong, and to feel happy about what we do well, because the good and the bad that we are\u2014it\u2019s all ours. We are valued by our own people. It turns out that there are people who go off traveling around Europe, eating well and sipping drinks and claiming that it was they who made all this. Now they\u2019ve even created their own \u201cFrida Sofia\u201d<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2018\/01\/31\/words-from-the-indigenous-revolutionary-clandestine-committee-general-command-of-the-zapatista-army-for-national-liberation-january-1-2018\/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EnlaceZapatista+%28Enlace+Zapatista%29#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a> to get attention and money, and they try \u00a0to buy off consciences. They think that the struggle comes from having a particular last name rather than from real commitment, and even align themselves with drug traffickers to attack us. Really they\u2019re just shameless liars.<\/p>\n<p>Because, hand in hand with those supposed revolutionaries and their paramilitaries, the bad governments remain bent on destroying our struggle, our resistance and rebellion, with an economic, political, ideological, social and cultural war. They give out crumbs and handouts to those who are affiliated with political parties in locations they consider strategic\u2014that is, they only give significant economic support, homes, food and projects (sometimes on behalf of the governments, sometimes as parties, and sometimes under the guise of human rights organizations) in areas where there are Zapatistas. And then they use the media to spread their lies, their bad ideas, their promises, their fancy tricks, all this with the goal of weakening Zapatista resistance and dividing, confronting and buying off indigenous and poor people\u2019s consciences.<\/p>\n<p>We Zapatistas are not beggars; we are people with the dignity, determination and conscience to struggle for true democracy, freedom, and justice. We are totally clear and certain that nothing good for the people will ever come from above. We cannot wait for the solution to our problems and needs to come from the bad rulers.<\/p>\n<p>And we know who has and has not been with us Zapatistas, since before the beginning on that January 1st, and in these 24 years of resistance and rebellion.<\/p>\n<p>The bad government, the paramilitary vanguard and the rich will never let us live in peace. They will seek a thousand ways to destroy and end the organization and the struggles of the people, because in these past few years there has been an immeasurable increase in the crimes, persecutions, disappearances, unjust imprisonment, repression, evictions, tortures and murders against our people. To name a few examples: San Salvador Atenco, Guerrerro, Oaxaca, Ayotzinapa, etc. They\u2019ve provoked more contradictions and confrontations between communities and municipalities and made it so that problems aren\u2019t resolved in a good way, but rather through violence. That\u2019s why they continue to maintain, protect and equip paramilitary groups, because the bad governments want us to kill ourselves by killing our own brothers, in our own communities.<\/p>\n<p>Everything that\u2019s going on\u00a0 demonstrates that there is no longer any government in our communities, municipalities, states, and country.<\/p>\n<p>Those who say they govern are just thieves who get fat at the expense of the people; they\u2019re criminals and murderers, they\u2019re the overseers and foremen of the bosses who are the big neoliberal capitalists.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re stalwart defenders of the interests of their bosses in looting the natural riches of our country and the world\u2014the land, forests, mountains,\u00a0 water, rivers, lakes, air, and the mines that are guarded in the heart of our mother earth\u2014because the boss considers everything a commodity, and in this way wants to destroy us completely\u2014that is, to destroy life and humanity.<\/p>\n<p>That is why, as the originary peoples of this country who make up the National Indigenous Congress, we have agreed to take a step forward and form the Indigenous Governing Council and to put forth our spokeswoman Mar\u00eda de Jes\u00fas Patricio Mart\u00ednez, who convokes, raises consciousnesses, informs, inspires, and calls upon all sectors of workers in the country and the city to organize ourselves, to unite and to struggle together with resistance and rebellion from our communities and our work sites, from our calendars and geographies, so that we can defend ourselves against the capitalist hydra which is already upon us.<\/p>\n<p>But the governments and the bosses who are the big capitalists are imposing what\u2019s called the Law of Internal Security, which means the militarization of our streets, our roads and our communities throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>And still they make us believe it\u2019s purpose is to combat organized crime, when really their intention is to control, silence, divide, threaten, and commit more violence against the people, and with impunity.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we Zapatistas say that we should no longer trust in any way whatsoever the capitalist system we live in, because we realize that we\u2019ve been suffering all of its evils for hundreds of years, without any distinction between which person or political party is in charge.<\/p>\n<p>We must all organize ourselves and unite as workers in all sectors in the countryside and the city: indigenous peoples, peasants, teachers, students, housewives, artists, merchants, office workers, manual laborers, doctors, intellectuals and scientists of our country and the world. The only road left for us is to join together even more, to organize ourselves better to construct our autonomy and our own organization as peoples and workers. That is what will save us from the great storm that\u2019s coming closer, or is already upon us, and which will sweep us all away.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why today, on this 24th anniversary of our armed uprising on this Planet Earth, we want to speak to our <em>compa\u00f1eras<\/em> of the national and international Sixth.<\/p>\n<p>We also want to speak to our sisters of Mexico and the world.<\/p>\n<p>So, <em>compa\u00f1eras<\/em> and <em>compa\u00f1eros<\/em> of the national and international Sixth:<\/p>\n<p>Sisters and brothers of the world:<\/p>\n<p>When we say that we\u2019ve undergone 500 years of exploitation, repression, neglect and dispossession, we\u2019re not lying.<\/p>\n<p>We have gone through and suffered the wars of the bad governments and the rich.<\/p>\n<p>No one can say it\u2019s a lie. It was our great-great-grandmothers and great-great-grandfathers who gave their blood and their lives so that the great-great-grandparents of those who are in power now could rise to power. No one can say that this is a lie, because there they are\u2014they\u2019re the ones who are guilty of destroying us today, and destroying mother nature too.<\/p>\n<p>We will continue to struggle without ceasing, to the death if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>And today we have an even greater will to struggle, with our <em>compa\u00f1eras<\/em> and <em>compa\u00f1eros<\/em> of the National Indigenous Congress.<\/p>\n<p>We support <em>compa\u00f1era<\/em> Marichuy and the <em>compa\u00f1eras <\/em>and <em>compa\u00f1eros<\/em> of the Indigenous Governing Council.<\/p>\n<p>Whether some people like it or not.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been very clear since the beginning. I remember that at the National Democratic Convention in 1994 in Guadalupe Tepeyac, we said: \u201cWe\u2019ll step aside, if you can show us that there\u2019s another path and we can stop the armed struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And until now no one has shown us another path for defeating the system of death and destruction that is capitalism.<\/p>\n<p>It is the <em>compa\u00f1eras<\/em> and <em>compa\u00f1eras<\/em> of the National Indigenous Congress, with<em> compa\u00f1era <\/em>Marichuy and the Indigenous Governing Council, who are showing us the way. And we support them without ceasing to be what we are.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t feel sad or ashamed to support them. Because we know well that they\u2019re not seeking the seat of Power or to hold office, but rather that their work is to deliver the message that we have to organize ourselves to in favor of life. It\u2019s as clear as that.<\/p>\n<p>And of course there are some liars going around saying that now we\u2019re \u201celectoralists.\u201d It\u2019s a vile lie, and these are Spanish speakers who know how to read and write, but either they don\u2019t read or they just go around and spread lies. What a shame, what a pity that they don\u2019t understand and that they have no shame.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody will take away what we are\u2014not until we\u2019re dead, or free.<\/p>\n<p>Sisters and brothers of Mexico and the world, don\u2019t be fooled.<\/p>\n<p>In Mexico there\u2019s no longer anywhere you can walk in peace; they\u2019ll grab you and kill you anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Many of capitalism\u2019s evils are here in Mexico and throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p>This and many other things are what the <em>compa\u00f1eras <\/em>of the National Indigenous Congress, their spokeswoman Marichuy and the Indigenous Governing Council are telling us.<\/p>\n<p>People make fun of us, saying that<em> compa\u00f1era<\/em> Marichuy doesn\u2019t know how to govern, that she won\u2019t\u00a0 be able to do anything. Sisters and brothers, what have the governments of the PRI and the PAN done for you? Have they not committed massacres, enacted corruption, and made bad decisions? Where does it say that only those who have studied know how to govern? Aren\u2019t you able to see this?<\/p>\n<p>This is what <em>compa\u00f1era<\/em> Marichuy means when she says we should organize ourselves in the countryside and in the city and unite as indigenous and non-indigenous people, because look at the scope of what these bad governments have done to us.<\/p>\n<p>What has this idiot currently governing given us? Pe\u00f1a Nieto is the worst cynic of all, inept and shameless, who hides behind the others who are just like him.<\/p>\n<p>While nothing happens to them, the people are exploited and pay with their lives. What is keeping you from being able to see this?<\/p>\n<p>Why do people only mobilize when the worst happens to them? Why do those who are unaffected act like they can\u2019t see and refuse to mobilize; and then when something happens to them they start screaming, help, help me?<\/p>\n<p>And when <em>compa\u00f1era <\/em>Marichuy speaks, they say she doesn\u2019t give good speeches, that she doesn\u2019t know how to talk. They say that the Indigenous Governing Council doesn\u2019t know anything.<\/p>\n<p>The Indigenous Governing Council is telling you the truth. You don\u2019t want the truth? Ah, it\u2019s that you don\u2019t like it. You want them to speak to you nicely and make promises? And when pain comes knocking at your door, will you respond to it with promises?<\/p>\n<p>Indigenous and non-indigenous sisters and brothers, we believe that no one will struggle for us, absolutely no one besides ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Let us wake up other exploited peoples, wake up those who claim to have studied. To do that, let us help and support<em> compa\u00f1era<\/em> Marichuy and the Indigenous Governing Council.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s organize ourselves so that <em>Compa\u00f1era <\/em>Marichuy and the Indigenous Governing Council can go on their nationwide tour, even if she doesn\u2019t get enough signatures to get on the ballot. Because the signature is not what struggles, it\u2019s not what\u2019s going to organize us, we\u2019re the ones who have to listen to one another and meet one another and from there, once we feel we\u2019re on a firm footing, from there our thoughts can emerge on how to organize ourselves better and what road to follow.<\/p>\n<p>No one else will say what the CIG and the spokeswoman Marichuy are saying.<\/p>\n<p>And since they won\u2019t say it, all you\u2019ll hear is noise, the same noise as always, and then the same disillusionment as always will follow.<\/p>\n<p>Let \u2018s not allow people to say to us, \u201cpoor little Indians, let\u2019s help them with our leftovers,\u201d just like the bad governments do to us.<\/p>\n<p>Only by organizing will the poor people of the countryside and the city have freedom, justice, and democracy. If we don\u2019t have those, what we\u2019ll have is a world like a CAPITALIST PLANTATION, and that\u2019s what\u2019s already starting to happen.<\/p>\n<p>If there is any woman or man who thinks and believes that what we\u2019re saying about the capitalist hydra is a lie, well let them argue with us, let them tell us clearly how what we\u2019re saying is a lie and let\u2019s see if we believe it. Because what we feel and see and know is that things are terrible and they\u2019re going to stay that way. Or maybe what people are seeing is that it\u2019s difficult to struggle, to organize, but there\u2019s no other way.<\/p>\n<p>We know that what we\u2019re saying is harsh, but do you think what\u2019s coming from the capitalist hydra will be nice and soft and easy?<\/p>\n<p>No, sisters, brothers. It will be horrible, terrible.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why the Zapatista <em>compa\u00f1eras<\/em> who are bases of support are calling on the <em>compa\u00f1eras <\/em>of the National Indigenous Congress and on all women who struggle, to gather on March 8. To all the women who aren\u2019t afraid, or who are but who must control it, because the alternative will be even more horrible.<\/p>\n<p>Because they, the Zapatista women, the women of the CNI, the women of the Sixth, the women who struggle throughout the world, are telling us that we have to organize, rebel, and resist.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s what <em>compa\u00f1era<\/em> Marichuy and the Indigenous Governing Council are telling us too.<\/p>\n<p>So onward,<em> compa\u00f1era<\/em> Marichuy! Walk, jog, and when necessary run, and stop, and then keep going. We have no other option.<\/p>\n<p>Onward, <em>compa\u00f1eras <\/em>of the Indigenous Governing Council.<\/p>\n<p>Onward, <em>compa\u00f1eras<\/em> of the National Indigenous Congress.<\/p>\n<p>We are sure that if the people organize themselves and struggle, we will achieve what we want, what we deserve: our freedom. For this the most important force is our organization, our resistance, our rebellion and our true word, which has no limits or borders.<\/p>\n<p>Now is not the moment for us to fall back, to get discouraged or tired. We must be even more steadfast in our struggle and firm in our word, following the example left by the <em>compa\u00f1eros <\/em>and<em> compa\u00f1eras<\/em> who have already died: do not give up, do not sell out, do not give in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">DEMOCRACY<br \/>\nFREEDOM<br \/>\nJUSTICE<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For the Indigenous Revolutionary Clandestine Committee-General Command of the Zapatista Army for National Liberation.<br \/>\nSubcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">From Oventik Caracol II, Highlands of Chiapas, Mexico.<br \/>\nJanuary 1, 2018.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> \u201cFrida Sof\u00eda\u201d dominated the news cycle following the September 2017 earthquake in Mexico City: she was reported to be one of several small children trapped under the rubble of a collapsed school.
