\nThe calamitous war created by Mexico\u2019s President Felipe Calder\u00f3n against \u201corganized crime\u201d has left almost 40 thousand people dead in the country, in addition to the thousands of people who have been \u201cdisappeared\u201d in Mexico during the last 20 years.<\/p>\n
Now the Federal Government\u2019s war is against all Mexicans. After four years of fear and the coward murder of Juan Francisco Sicilia, son of the poet Javier Sicilia, in the state of Morelos in the center of the country, the poet called for national and international demonstrations to stop the president\u2019s war against Mexico\u2019s civil society.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of thousands of people in the whole country joined this call, and the great National March for Justice and Against Impunity was convoked for early May, leaving the state of Morelos on May 5 and arriving at Mexico City on May 8. During those days, millions of Mexicans demonstrated throughout the country against Calderon\u2019s violence. <\/p>\n
In Chiapas, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation joined the call on May 7 with a march in San Crist\u00f3bal de Las Casas together with indigenous and peasant organizations, collectives, human rights and civil organizations, and individuals. More than 20 thousand people marched in silence. In the city\u2019s main plaza, part of the General Command of the EZLN read a communiqu\u00e9 in the voice of Comandante David.<\/p>\n
In this program, we listen to part of the speech given by Javier Sicilia in Mexico City\u2019s Z\u00f3calo and part of the communiqu\u00e9 read by Comandante David in the Plaza of Resistance in San Crist\u00f3bal de Las Casas.
