qu\u00e9 S\u00ed a la Consulta y S\u00ed a la pregunta.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Julio del 2021.<\/p>\n<p>RESUMEN: Se llama a participar en la Consulta pensando en las v\u00edctimas.\u00a0 Ir a la casilla.\u00a0 Se sugiere que, si le cae mal el Supremo o desconf\u00eda, y con raz\u00f3n, de que su participaci\u00f3n sea usada para legitimar a los de all\u00e1 arriba \u2013o sea un ensayo para una consulta posterior sobre la extensi\u00f3n del mandato del ejecutivo-, o que es un desperdicio (uno m\u00e1s) de paga, o que lo que quiere el Supremo es negociar con sus ex\u00b4s para que le bajen una raya a su mala vibra, o es pura y simple demagogia, entonces no vaya a una casilla.\u00a0 En lugar de eso se le propone que escriba una carta, individual o colectiva, y que la haga llegar a una organizaci\u00f3n de v\u00edctimas, dici\u00e9ndoles que respeta su dolor y que les apoya en sus demandas de verdad y justicia.\u00a0 O una columna period\u00edstica, un <em>tuit,<\/em> un comentario en su blog, en su noticiero, en su <em>facebook<\/em>, en <em>instagram<\/em>, en donde sea.\u00a0 O una pintura, una canci\u00f3n, un mural, un poema, un discurso, una sonata, una <em>pirouette<\/em>, una figura, una obra de teatro, un arte.\u00a0 O un art\u00edculo de an\u00e1lisis, un coloquio, una c\u00e1tedra, una conferencia, un semillero.\u00a0 O lo que se le ocurra.\u00a0 Es m\u00e1s, para que quede clara su inconformidad, h\u00e1galo de forma extempor\u00e1nea, o sea uno o varios d\u00edas despu\u00e9s del 1 de agosto y siga en lo que resta del a\u00f1o y los a\u00f1os subsiguientes.\u00a0 Se le insiste en que se organice porque, acaso sin saberlo, usted forma parte de las futuras y probables v\u00edctimas de \u201clas decisiones pol\u00edticas tomadas en a\u00f1os <strong><em>presentes y venideros<\/em><\/strong> por los actores pol\u00edticos\u201d del Estado Mexicano.\u00a0 Es eso o resignarse a que, cuando usted sea la v\u00edctima, el \u201cactor pol\u00edtico\u201d responsable de evitar que eso le ocurriera, de investigar, perseguir y castigar a \u00e9l o los culpables, declare que usted \u201cse lo busc\u00f3\u201d, que condena el hecho y, claro, que se investigar\u00e1 \u201chasta las \u00faltimas consecuencias y caiga quien caiga\u201d \u2013mientras su nombre de usted y su historia personal, pasan a ser un n\u00famero en una estad\u00edstica-.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>-*-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Primero<\/strong>.- Los pueblos zapatistas participar\u00e1n, de forma extempor\u00e1nea, en la llamada \u201cConsulta Popular\u201d, siguiendo los usos y costumbres de los originarios, con asambleas comunitarias.\u00a0 El resultado se le har\u00e1 llegar a las organizaciones de v\u00edctimas de la violencia, de b\u00fasqueda de desaparecidos y de presos de conciencia.\u00a0 Quienes tienen credencial del INE (de hecho s\u00f3lo un@s poc@s) asistir\u00e1n a una casilla.\u00a0 Llamamos ESPECIALMENTE a los pueblos originarios hermanos, organizados en el <strong>Congreso Nacional Ind\u00edgena-Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno<\/strong> a que, siguiendo sus tiempos y modos, participen tambi\u00e9n, sin perder de vista a las v\u00edctimas, y teniendo presentes a todos los hermanos asesinados y comunidades que han sido v\u00edctimas de las decisiones de los de arriba de antes y de ahora, as\u00ed como la larga historia de despojos, de enga\u00f1os, de burlas y desprecios, de destrucci\u00f3n de territorios y desaparici\u00f3n de lenguas y culturas originarias.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Segundo<\/strong>: La pregunta a consultar no trata de los ex presidentes, o no s\u00f3lo.\u00a0 Sino de todos los actores pol\u00edticos: ejecutivos federales y sus gabinetes legales y ampliados; gobiernos estatales y municipales; diputados locales y federales; senadores; jueces y todo el aparato de justicia; organismos descentralizados; organismos aut\u00f3nomos (como el IFE antes y despu\u00e9s el INE); ej\u00e9rcito, fuerza a\u00e9rea y marina; polic\u00edas federales, estatales y municipales.<\/p>\n<p>Tampoco trata de juzgar ni condenar a nadie.\u00a0 Trata de los derechos de las v\u00edctimas, de su derecho a la justicia y a la verdad.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Su derecho a saber por qu\u00e9 se decidieron tales acciones u omisiones, con cu\u00e1les leyes se les dio sustento legal.\u00a0 Y qui\u00e9nes fueron o son los responsables o irresponsables, desde el m\u00e1s alto, hasta el m\u00e1s bajo nivel.\u00a0 Eso ser\u00eda la verdad y su consecuencia ser\u00eda la justicia.<\/p>\n<p>No est\u00e1n a consulta ni la una ni la otra.\u00a0 Se consulta si estamos de acuerdo en apoyar a las v\u00edctimas que reclaman saber qu\u00e9 pas\u00f3, por qu\u00e9, y qui\u00e9n; y demandan justicia.<\/p>\n<p>Cuando se pone como per\u00edodo temporal \u201clos a\u00f1os pasados\u201d, se deduce que incluye hasta el 31 de diciembre del 2020.\u00a0 Y si los meses de enero a julio del 2021 son \u201cpasados\u201d, pues tambi\u00e9n.<\/p>\n<p>Si de esas exigencias de Verdad y Justicia se sigue algo m\u00e1s que no sea simulaci\u00f3n, depende de las v\u00edctimas, sus familiares y de quienes les apoyan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tercero<\/strong>.- <strong>Los<\/strong> <strong>riesgos<\/strong>.\u00a0 S\u00ed, es m\u00e1s que probable que, tanto el oficialismo como la \u201coposici\u00f3n\u201d en M\u00e9xico, usen la participaci\u00f3n en la consulta y el resultado.\u00a0 Sea como una forma de legitimar su pol\u00edtica gubernamental, sea como un argumento para esconder sus culpas y evadir la justicia.\u00a0 Tanto el n\u00famero de participantes \u201ccontempor\u00e1neos\u201d, como las respuestas, pueden ser secuestrados por uno y otro lado.\u00a0 Pero eso durar\u00e1 apenas un tiempo.<\/p>\n<p>Lo que a nosotros nos importa es que las v\u00edctimas se sientan acompa\u00f1adas y animadas en su doloroso caminar.\u00a0 Pero su paso, su ritmo, su velocidad, su compa\u00f1\u00eda y su destino, corresponde a ellas y s\u00f3lo a ellas decidirlo.<\/p>\n<p>S\u00ed, est\u00e1 tambi\u00e9n el riesgo de que el oficialismo use esa consulta popular para avalar las \u201cconsultas\u201d falsas con las que ha cubierto el car\u00e1cter depredador de sus <em>megaproyectos<\/em> en los territorios de los originarios.\u00a0 Bueno, esas \u201cconsultas\u201d no lo fueron.\u00a0 Fueron acarreos desvergonzados y con rid\u00edculos resultados.\u00a0 Se chantaje\u00f3 y se pag\u00f3 por el acuerdo y, aun as\u00ed, fracasaron en lo que a participaci\u00f3n se refiere.\u00a0 No fueron previas, ni informadas, ni libres, ni de acuerdo a los modos y tiempos de los pueblos originarios.\u00a0 Pero, en el caso de que alg\u00fan d\u00eda se hicieran consultas a los pueblos originarios, se informaran bien los pros y los contras, fueran ANTES de que se implementaran los <em>megaproyectos<\/em>, participaran TODOS los afectados, etc., y ganara la propuesta de destrucci\u00f3n de la naturaleza y el aniquilamiento de los pueblos originarios como tales, pues la conclusi\u00f3n ser\u00eda que falt\u00f3 trabajo de explicaci\u00f3n y convencimiento, y habr\u00eda que seguir insistiendo.\u00a0 \u00bfY mientras tanto?\u00a0 Resistencia y Rebeld\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>Claro, esta consulta tambi\u00e9n puede ser una mascarada\u2026 si no la volvemos inoportuna, impropia, inconveniente, \u201cextempor\u00e1nea\u201d.\u00a0 Es decir, si no la convertimos en algo m\u00e1s.\u00a0 Aunque habr\u00eda que, primero, sustraerse de lo que dicen y disputan all\u00e1 arriba; y luego seguir con encuentros, foros, festivales, apoyos para las v\u00edctimas.\u00a0 <strong>Una campa\u00f1a nacional por la verdad y la justicia<\/strong>.\u00a0 En suma \u201cacompa\u00f1amiento\u201d, no \u201cdirecci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cuarto.-<\/strong> \u00bfNo ser\u00eda bueno que las Madres Buscadoras de Desaparecidos en Sonora, las Rastreadoras de El Fuerte, Sinaloa, las madres de los Yaquis secuestrados, los desplazados de Pantelh\u00f3, las familias de desaparecidos en Guerrero, Guanajuato, Veracruz, Baja California Sur, Quer\u00e9taro, Jalisco, Coahuila, Morelos y casi cualquier estado de la Rep\u00fablica Mexicana, as\u00ed como los familiares de los migrantes inmolados en M\u00e9xico, los familiares de los desaparecidos de Ayotzinapa, se encontraran con\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 los familiares de las v\u00edctimas de la guerra sucia, con las familias de los infantes con c\u00e1ncer y sin medicinas, con las mujeres agredidas en Atenco, con los movimientos feministas que luchan contra los feminicidios y la violencia contra las mujeres, con l@s defensor@s de la comunidad LGBTTTIQ+, con las familias de la Guarder\u00eda ABC, con los familiares de los muertos en la l\u00ednea 12 del metro de la Ciudad de M\u00e9xico,\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 con los familiares de Samir Flores Soberanes y con quienes se organizan para resistir a la Termoel\u00e9ctrica en Morelos, con las comunidades que resisten al despojo y la destrucci\u00f3n que significan el mal llamado \u201cTren Maya\u201d, el Corredor <em>Trans\u00edstmico<\/em>, el aeropuerto de Santa Luc\u00eda, la miner\u00eda abierta y cerrada, con las organizaciones por presos y desaparecidos pol\u00edticos, con las Abejas de Acteal, con los sobrevivientes de El Charco, con los cercanos a Tom\u00e1s Rojo y a Sim\u00f3n Pedro, y con tantos dolores organizados y no?<\/p>\n<p>Piense usted en esa persona que se encuentra sola, buscando a su ser querido sin m\u00e1s fuerzas que las del vientre y del coraz\u00f3n, y, adem\u00e1s, debe soportar las burlas y los desprecios de otras, otros que le dicen \u201cse lo merec\u00eda\u201d, \u201candaba en malos pasos\u201d, \u201cte quejas porque eres parte de la mafia del poder\u201d, \u201ces tu culpa porque no le educaste bien\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Y que ni siquiera

entregaron el resultado de una prueba de ADN y un pedazo de hueso envuelto en una tira de la ropa que llevaba ese d\u00eda, esa tarde, esa noche que, desde entonces, no cesa\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>O ni eso: el no lugar, ni viva ni muerta: desaparecida.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfNo sabr\u00e1 as\u00ed que no est\u00e1 sola?\u00a0 \u00bfNo ser\u00e1 que as\u00ed descubre que no s\u00f3lo no es la \u00fanica en el dolor, tambi\u00e9n que hay otras que buscan verdad y justicia?<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfNo descubrir\u00e1, as\u00ed, lo mismo que nosotros los pueblos zapatistas? \u00a0A saber: que los dolores no se suman, sino que se multiplican cuando se encuentran.<\/p>\n<p>El peligro no ser\u00e1 si el oficialismo o la oposici\u00f3n usan esos encuentros en su beneficio.\u00a0 Sino que no se respete ese dolor ya organizado y se pretenda dirigirlo a otro lado que no sea alcanzar la verdad y la justicia que todo ser humano, independientemente de su raza, color, cultura, credo, g\u00e9nero, orientaci\u00f3n o preferencia sexual, filiaci\u00f3n o ideolog\u00eda pol\u00edtica, clase social, merece y necesita.<\/p>\n<p>Porque no basta conformarse con lamentar un nuevo asesinato, una nueva desaparici\u00f3n, una nueva fosa com\u00fan con huesos y jirones de ropa.\u00a0 No basta con denuncias p\u00fablicas que son sofocadas por el esc\u00e1ndalo de moda.\u00a0 No basta con una estad\u00edstica, un n\u00famero, un olvido.<\/p>\n<p>Esa mujer merece saber la verdad.\u00a0 Qu\u00e9 pas\u00f3 con su cr\u00eda y por qu\u00e9.\u00a0 Y merece, no s\u00f3lo que se le acompa\u00f1e en esa b\u00fasqueda de verdad.\u00a0 Tambi\u00e9n en la exigencia de que los responsables de esos cr\u00edmenes reciban su castigo.<\/p>\n<p>Esta geograf\u00eda llamada \u201cM\u00e9xico\u201d merece conocer la verdad de lo que pas\u00f3 y pasa.\u00a0 Y merece justicia.\u00a0 Sean \u00abchairos\u00bb o \u00abfif\u00eds\u00bb, neoliberales o neoconservadores, pro4T o anti4T, o la dicotom\u00eda que se les ocurra.<\/p>\n<p>Pero no obstante: si usted decide que no, que no sirve para nada bueno participar en esta otra consulta, pues tal vez significa que usted est\u00e1 haciendo algo m\u00e1s y mejor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quinto.- La clase media y la Consulta.<\/strong> \u00a0Como originario que soy de la clase media, s\u00e9 que nos catalogan y encasillan seg\u00fan los intereses de arriba.\u00a0 Tanto nos clasifican como clase media que parecemos llaves espa\u00f1olas: hay quince dieciseisavos, un cuarto, tres octavos, diecinueve treintaidosavos, cuarto para las seis-dios-m\u00edo-qu\u00e9-tarde-es, media clase media-media \u2013lo que ya es el colmo-, y as\u00ed.\u00a0 \u201c<em>\u00bfYa viste a \u00e9sa que se cree muy de trece dieciseisavos y ni a tres

pol\u00edtico<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>O como nos clasifican los ortodoxos: peque\u00f1o burgueses.\u00a0 Y aqu\u00ed entra un sistema parecido: nano burgu\u00e9s, micro burgu\u00e9s, mini burgu\u00e9s, burgu\u00e9s cuasi-peque\u00f1o, peque\u00f1o burgu\u00e9s propiamente dicho, burgu\u00e9s en proceso de desarrollo, y burgu\u00e9s entre azul y medias noches\u2026 s\u00ed, el <em>hot dog<\/em> sin

con el que te tomas la <em>selfie<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n se nos achacan los fracasos y desviaciones de las diversas opciones pol\u00edticas del espectro ideol\u00f3gico, y ninguno de sus logros.<\/p>\n<p>Entiendo y, no pocas veces, comparto la irritaci\u00f3n e indignaci\u00f3n por los dimes y diretes que salen de la letrina de all\u00e1 arriba, por los insultos mal disimulados, y por los ataques de personas que, siendo de la clase media, ahora se autodenominan \u201cvanguardia\u201d del pueblo e \u201ciluminados\u201d que gu\u00edan y conducen el reba\u00f1o.\u00a0 Y que, como tales, desprecian el conocimiento, la inteligencia, la creatividad, el ingenio\u2026 y el sentido del humor.\u00a0 Adem\u00e1s de pretender que las ciencias y las artes militen en su opci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica\u2026 o no son ciencias ni artes.\u00a0 De hecho, mi primera reacci\u00f3n fue resumir nuestra posici\u00f3n as\u00ed: \u201cDel gobierno que hace rifas que no son rifas y trenes mayas que no son mayas, ahora: la consulta que no es consulta. \u00a1Mejor organ\u00edzate!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Pero tambi\u00e9n acecha la oposici\u00f3n idiota y c\u00ednica.\u00a0 Las repentinas \u201ctomas

critican las pol\u00edticas econ\u00f3micas gubernamentales despu\u00e9s de que se hartaron de robar y despojar.\u00a0 La supuesta \u201coposici\u00f3n\u201d, incapaz de presumir ning\u00fan logro, apuesta todo a los errores y disparates del oficialismo \u2013que no son pocos-.\u00a0 Y, claro, apuestan al olvido, a la memoria sepultada por el griter\u00edo en las redes sociales, las columnas de opini\u00f3n y el manejo perverso de la informaci\u00f3n.\u00a0 Porque las mal llamadas \u201c<em>fake news<\/em>\u201d no son s\u00f3lo noticias falsas, son la manipulaci\u00f3n de una

with the victims in mind. Going to the polls. It is suggested that if you dislike or distrust the Supreme, and rightly so, and think that your participation would be used to legitimize those from above, or that that it is a rehearsal for a later consultation which would extend the mandate of the executive, or that is a waste (yet one more) of pay, or that what the Supreme wants is to negotiate with the exes to bring down the bad vibes a notch, or it is demagoguery pure and simple, then don\u2019t go to the polls.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of this, it is proposed that you write a letter, either individual or collective and that you send it off to an organization of victims, telling them that you honor their pain and that you support them in their demands for truth and justice. Or a newspaper column, a tweet, a comment on your blog, in your newsletter, on your facebook, instagram, or wherever. Or a painting, a song, a mural, a poem, a speech, a sonata, a pirouette, a figure, a play, some art. Or an article of analysis, a colloquium, a lecture, a conference, a seedbed. Or whatever occurs to you. And even more, to make your non-conformity clear, do it extemporaneously, say one or several days after August 1st, and continue it for the rest of the year and the following years. It is stressed that you must get organized because, without even knowing it, you make up part of the future and probable victims of \u201cthe political decisions made in the present and coming years by political actors\u201d of the Mexican State. It is that or resign yourself to the fact that when you are the victim, the \u201cpolitical actor\u201d responsible for preventing this from happening to you, of investigating, pursuing, and punishing the guilty parties, declares the you \u201casked for it,\u201d that he condemns the act and of course, it will be investigated \u201cto the ultimate consequences, regardless of who falls\u201d \u2014 as your name, and your personal story, pass into a number and a statistic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">-*-<\/p>\n<p>First: The Zapatista communities will participate extemporaneously in the so-called \u201cPopular Consultation,\u201d following the usos y costumbres of the indigenous peoples, with community assemblies. The results will be sent to the organizations of victims of violence, the search for the disappeared, and prisoners of conscience. Those who have the INE (National Electoral Institute) credential (in fact there are very few), will go to the polls. We ESPECIALLY call upon our indigenous sisters and brothers, organized in the National Indigenous Congress-Indigenous Governing Council to participate also, according to their times and ways, without losing sight of the victims, and holding present all of the murdered brothers and sisters and communities that have been victims of the decisions of those from above before and now, like the long history of plunder, of deceit, of mockery and of contempt, of destruction of territories and disappearance of indigenous languages and cultures.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Second: The question to be asked is not about the former presidents, or.. not that alone. But rather all of the political actors \u2014 federal executives and their legal and extended cabinets; state and municipal governments; federal and local deputies, senators; judges and the entire justice apparatus; decentralized agencies, autonomous agencies (formerly the IFE and now the INE, the National Electoral Institute); the Army, Air Force and Navy; federal, state and municipal police.<\/p>\n<p>Nor is it about judging or condemning anyone. It is about the rights of the victims, their right to justice and to truth.<\/p>\n<p>Their right to know why such actions and omissions were decided upon, which laws provided them with legal support. And who were or are those responsible or irresponsible, from the highest to the lowest level. That would be the truth, and its consequence would be justice.<\/p>\n<p>Neither one or the other are in question. The question is whether we are in agreement with supporting the victims who demand to know what happened, why, and by whom; and to demand justice.<\/p>\n<p>When one puts a time period of \u201cyears past\u201d it can be deduced that it includes up until the 31st of December 2020. And if the months of January to July of 2021 are \u201cpast,\u201d well, that also.<\/p>\n<p>Whether anything more than a simulation follows from these demands for Truth and Justice, will depend on the victims, their families and those that support them.<\/p>\n<p>Third: the Risks. Yes, it is more than likely that both the government as well as the \u201copposition,\u201d use the participation in the consultation and the result. Either as a way of legitimizing its government policy, or as a plot to hide their guilt and evade justice. Both the number of \u201ccontemporary\u201d participants, as well as the responses can be hijacked by one side or the other. But that will only last for a while.<\/p>\n<p>What matters to us is that the victims feel accompanied and encouraged in their painful journey. But their pace, their rhythm, their speed, their company and their destiny, is up to them and only for them to decide.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there is also the risk that the government uses this popular consultation to support those false \u201cconsultas\u201d with which it has covered up the predatory nature of its megaprojects in the indigenous territories. Well, \u201cconsultations\u201d those were not. They were shameless rides, with ridiculous results. Agreement was blackmailed and paid for, and even then, they failed in terms of participation. They were not previous, nor informed, nor free, nor according to the ways and times of the indigenous peoples. But in the event that someday indigenous peoples were consulted, they were well-informed of the pros and cons, BEFORE the megaprojects were implemented, ALL of those affected participated, etc. and the proposal for destruction of nature and the annihilation of the indigenous people as such won, then the conclusion would be that the work of explanation and convincing was lacking and we would have to continue insisting. And in the meantime? Resistance and Rebellion.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this consultation could also be a sham\u2026if we don\u2019t turn it into something inopportune, unseemly, inconvenient, \u201cextemporaneous.\u201d That is, if we do not turn it into something more. Although you would first have to pull away what they are saying and arguing up above; and then later, continue with gatherings, forums, festivals, and support for the victims. A National Campaign for Truth and Justice. In short, \u201caccompaniment,\u201d not \u201cdirection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fourth: Wouldn\u2019t it be good if the Mothers Seeking the Disappeared in Sonora, the Trackers of El Fuente, Sinaloa, the mothers of the kidnapped Yaquis, the displaced of Pantelh\u00f3, the families of the disappeared in Guerrero, Guanajuato, Veracruz, Baja California Sur, Quer\u00e9taro, Jalisco, Coahuila, Morelos and almost every state of the Mexican Republic, as well as the family members of the immolated migrants in M\u00e9xico, the family members of the disappeared of Ayotzinapa, could meet with \u2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 the families of the victims of the dirty war, with the families of infants with cancer and without medicin, with the women who were assaulted in Atenco, with the feminist movments that struggle against femicide and violence against women, with the defenders of the LGBTQ+, with the families of the ABC Nursery, with the family members of the deceased in line 12 of the Metro in Mexico City\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026with the family of Samir Flores Soberanes and those who organize to resist the Thermoelectric Plant in Morelos, with the communities that resist the plunder and destruction that are meant by the poorly-named \u201cMayan Train,\u201d TransIsthmian Corridor, Santa Luc\u00eda Airport, open-pit and underground mining, with the organizations for political prisoners and disappeared persons, with the Abejas de Acteal, with the survivors of El Charco, with those close to Tom\u00e1s Rojo and Sim\u00f3n Pedro, with so many organized and unorganized sorrows?<\/p>\n<p>Think about that person that finds herself alone, looking for a loved one without any more strength than those of her womb and her heart, and in addition, she should suffer the mockery and the contempt of others, others that say that \u201cshe deserved it,\u201d or \u201cshe had bad habits,\u201d \u201cyou complain because you are part of the mafia of power,\u201d or it is your fault for not educating her well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And they don\u2019t even let her respond: \u201cmy daughter went on an errand to the corner and didn\u2019t come back,\u201d or \u201cshe went to a party,\u201d or \u201cmy daughter is less than 10 years old,\u201d or \u201cmy husband was coming from work and they killed him twice \u2014 once with bullets, and again with lies that he was a criminal,\u201d or \u201cinstead of receiving a photo of my daughter\/son graduating, they gave me the results of a DNA test and a bone fragment in a shred of clothing he wore that day, that afternoon, that night that since then, never ends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Or not even that: in no place, neither alive nor dead \u2013disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Could it be that this is how she knows that she is not alone? Could it be that this is how she discovers that not only is she not the only one in pain, but that there are others who seek truth and justice?<\/p>\n<p>Won\u2019t she discover, in this way, the same that we, the Zapatista communities have? Namely: sorrows do not add up, but rather multiply when they meet.<\/p>\n<p>The danger will not be that the government or the opposition uses these meetings to their advantage. Rather, it will be if this already organized pain is not respected and that they try to direct it in a way other than to achieve the truth and justice that every human being, independent of their race, color, culture, creed, gender, sexual orientation or preference, political affiliation or ideology, or social class, deserves and needs.<\/p>\n<p>Because it is not enough to settle for mourning a new murder, a new disappearance, a new mass grave with bones and shreds of clothing. Public complaints suffocated by the scandal of the day are not enough. A statistic, a number, an omission is not enough.<\/p>\n<p>That woman deserves to know the truth. What happened to her child and why. And she deserves not only to be accompanied in this search for truth. But also in the demand that those responsible for those crimes receive their punishment.<\/p>\n<p>This geography called \u201cMexico\u201d deserves to know the truth about what happened and is happening. And it deserves justice. Whether they be \u201cchairos[1]\u201d or \u201cfifis[2],\u201d neoliberals or neoconservatives, Pro-4T or anti-4T, or whatever dichotomy you can think of.<\/p>\n<p>But nevertheless: if you decide that it doesn\u2019t do any good to participate in this other consultation, well maybe it means that you are doing something more and better.<\/p>\n<p>Fifth: The Middle Class and the Consultation.<\/p>\n<p>As the native that I am of the middle class, I know that we are classified and pigeonholed according to interests from above. They classify us so much as middle class that we look like spanish keys: there are fifteen sixteenths, a quarter, three eighths, nineteen twenty-seconds, a quarter-til-six-oh-my-god-how-late-it-is, and half middle-middle class \u2014 which is the last straw, and so on. \u201cDid you see that one who thinks she is so thirteen sixteenths when she doesn\u2019t even get to three eighths, poor thing?\u2026 and that other one, that overnight climbed almost fifty seventy-seconds, he\u2019s probably a drug dealer\u2026 or worse, a politician.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Or as the orthodox classify us \u2014 petit bourgeoisie. And here a similar system comes in, the nano bourgeoisie, micro bourgeoisie, quasi-petit bourgeoisie, self-proclaimed petit bourgeoisie, bourgeoisie in process, and bourgeoisie between blue and the middle of the night\u2026yeah, the hot dog without mayonnaise, please. I, for example, don\u2019t even get that. I am barely a \u201cpequeb\u00fa\u201d (baby bourgeoisie). But as the deceased would say, \u201cIt all depends on the make and model of the phone with which you take your selfie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We also get blamed for the failures and deviations of the various political choices of the ideological spectrum, and none of their achievements.<\/p>\n<p>I understand, and not infrequently, I share the irritation and indignation for the bickering that comes out of the latrine up there, for the thinly veiled insults, and for the attacks of people that being from the middle class, now call themselves the \u201cvanguard\u201d of the people or \u201cenlightened\u201d who guide and lead the flock. And who, as such, despise knowledge, intelligence, creativity, genius\u2026and sense of humor. In addition to pretending that the sciences and art are militant in their political choice\u2026or they are neither sciences or arts. In fact, my first reaction was to summarize our position like this: \u00abFrom the government that holds raffles that are not raffles and Mayan trains that are not Mayan, now \u2014 the consultation that is not a consultation. You\u2019d better get organized!\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>But the idiotic and cynical opposition is also lurking. The sudden \u201crealizations\u201d of the former ruling criminals who, disparaging memory, now are champions of defense of human rights, of the indigenous communities, of the environment, and who criticize the government economic policies after they have had their fill of pillage and plunder. The supposed \u201copposition,\u201d incapable of boasting any achievement, bets it all on the mistakes and follies of the government, which are not few. And of course, they bet on oblivion, on memory buried by the screaming on social media, the opinion columns, and the perverse management of information. Because the misnamed \u201cfake news\u201d is not only false news, it is the manipulation of information. The alchemy that makes them not credible, but digestible. And more than anything, into ammunition for the \u201cheroic\u201d combat on the social networks and the media.<\/p>\n<p>And it could be that out of desperation, you elect one side or another.<\/p>\n<p>But, if you manage to escape from that curse, even for a moment, direct your gaze at the victims.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not one of the victims, just one more, and you haven\u2019t formed a community police force, well, the odds are stacked against you and you would do well to prepare yourself.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t do it out of empathy and human sensitivity, at least do it for the sake of \u201ctoday for you, tomorrow for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crime statistics might serve, certainly, to criticize a government policy; but more than anything they are a warning: \u201cyou\u2019re next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Get organized. In this geography called Mexico, there could well be an organization of future and probable victims of \u201cpolitical decisions made by political actors\u201d that is born.<\/p>\n<p>Sixth: Participate in the so-called Popular Consultation. If you don\u2019t want your feelings to be used by one or another, don\u2019t go to the polls. Shout, scratch, paint, sing, make gestures, be silent, walk, run, stand still. You decide what and let the victims know. And do it after the 1st of August\u2026all year long and for the years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Or get together with others, and analize, discuss, and debate. If you want, write down in some kind of minutes or common letter, your unanimous or divided decision, and send it to an organization of families of victims. (I doubt that you don\u2019t have one in your geography.) Remember that the INE does not count feelings, solidarities, brotherhoods or demands for truth and justice.<\/p>\n<p>And your age doesn\u2019t matter, whether you are extemporaneous or contemporary, if you are above, below, or in the middle, if you are \u201cchairo\u201d or \u201cfifi,\u201d if you like cumbia or rock, if you watch anime or westerns, if you are hetero o \u201cultimately what does it matter to you what I am or am not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t do it because you support the government or because you oppose it. Do it if only to tell that woman that cries in the absence of her partner, her child, her sister, her mother, her family member, her acquaintance, her friend, her compa\u00f1era, her love, that her tenacious search for truth and justice, her determination, her pain, her nightmare, do not go unnoticed by you.<\/p>\n<p>Do it because maybe, under all of the classifications, flags, emblems and slogans, you are a human being.<\/p>\n<p>From the mountains of the Mexican Southeast.<\/p>\n<p>SupGaleano<\/p>\n<p>Sans Papiers. (Without Papers)<\/p>\n<p>Neither contemporary nor extemporaneous.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[1] A pejorative word used to describe a stereotypical adherent of the left who holds a leftist values and uncritically follows candidates or political personalities with a religious zeal. The expression has numerous twists in its etymology in Mexico, and came to refer to an AMLO voter in the 2005 election.<\/p>\n<p>[2] Originally used to describe a person of the upper class who supported Porfirio Diaz, came to mean an effeminate man who held the latest style. In AMLO\u2019s usage the term has come to refer to the \u201cconservative, two-faced puppets\u201d of his opposition.[:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[:es] Por qu\u00e9 S\u00ed a la Consulta y S\u00ed a la pregunta.
