It is a women\u2019s initiative where they  created a cafeteria-store, that is, they have a small cafeteria and a  small grocery store. They started with a loan of 15 thousand pesos and  hatched their idea for this project. The initiative was made by the  regional and local leaders in coordination with the <\/em>Junta<em>,  which supported them with tables, dishes, and other useful things for  the cafeteria. Various people cooperated to make this happen, but it was  these compa\u00f1eras who had the idea, did the work, and organized it all.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>They began with 15 thousand pesos, they have organized their  leadership responsibilities, and the compa\u00f1eras in charge locally take  turns at the zone level preparing and selling the food. They reported to  us that, in their first business ever, they made a profit of 40  thousand pesos. With this 40 thousand pesos they could pay back the loan  that they had taken out, which was 15 thousand pesos, and they had 25  thousand pesos left over.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Then they began to think that they were missing some of the things that they needed to round out the project. The <\/em>Junta<em> had  supported them, as I said, with dishes and tables, but they began to  think that with their earnings they wanted to improve things a little,  and so they used these profits to better equip themselves. Now they are  working like this, they have their leadership, the work rotates among  the compa\u00f1eras, and every year they change the makeup of the leadership.  The communities control what is sold there, and they have informed us  that they currently have 56,176 pesos in cash according to their last  account balance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>All of this is work that we have been doing at the zone level,  not with the objective to divide it up among ourselves or to spend these  small funds that we are generating, but rather to be prepared for  anything that we might need in the zone, for the things that will help  us in the struggle.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(\u2026)<\/p>\n<p><em>We know that in the Tzeltal Jungle zone there are compa\u00f1eras who are\u00a0<strong>comisariadas <\/strong><\/em>(like commissioners<strong>),<em> <\/em><\/strong><em>or <\/em>agentas<em>, how does it work there for these compa\u00f1eras to be\u00a0<strong>comisariadas <\/strong>and  agentas, tell us, share with us how it is. Are there compa\u00f1eras who  function as local authorities? How do they do this? How do these  compa\u00f1eras work? Because there are also compa\u00f1eros who are <\/em>comisariados<em> and <\/em>agentes<em>.  What we want to do here is share how it is that we teach ourselves,  help ourselves, prepare ourselves. In this case, especially with respect  to the compa\u00f1eras, how do the compa\u00f1era authorities work in the  communities?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What do the compa\u00f1eras do in their communities as a <\/em><strong>comisariada<em> <\/em><\/strong><em>or <\/em><strong>agenta<\/strong><em>?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The <\/em><strong>agentas<em>, <\/em><\/strong><em>for example, in  my community, are the ones who watch over the community, who keep vigil  over certain kinds of problems, things like small interpersonal issues,  or problems with animals that cause harm or damages. It is the <\/em>agente<em> who  is responsible for solving these types of problems. They also hold  meetings to provide guidance on how to avoid problems with alcohol and  drug addiction. These compa\u00f1eras always participate, in every meeting,  providing this guidance to avoid arriving at more serious problems. The <\/em><strong>comisariadas<em> <\/em><\/strong><em>also  hold meetings to discuss land issues\u2014the care of the surrounding lands  and the use of agro-chemicals. We planned all of this out as regulations  that the <\/em><strong>comisariadas<\/strong><em> and<\/em>agentes<em> administer within the communities to maintain this control.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For the compa\u00f1eras who have already become <\/em><strong>agentas,<em> <\/em><\/strong><em>whose  job is it to solve problems in the communities, can they already solve  the problems themselves, or do they do it with the support of  compa\u00f1eros?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In my community, sometimes the compa\u00f1eras request the support of a  local authority to listen to an issue if they aren\u2019t sure how to  participate, so they may ask for counsel. That happens often, but there  are times when they <\/em>[the authorities]\u00a0<em>aren\u2019t there and the compa\u00f1eras do it alone. For example, in my community, the <\/em>agente<em> is a compa\u00f1era, and so is the substitute <\/em>agente<em>,  and so the two of them have resolved problems themselves. As they have  seen it done a few times, they follow this example and create solutions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(\u2026)<\/p>\n<p><em>Of the 60 members, are they half compa\u00f1eras and half compa\u00f1eros?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Yes compa\u00f1ero, we are half and half, no one is more, no one is less.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(\u2026)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">-*-<\/p>\n<p>(To be continued\u2026)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I testify.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">From the mountains of Southeastern Mexico.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mexico, February 2013.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=jjE19gvwVAw\" target=\"_blank\">Tierra y Libertad<\/a>,\u201d  by the group \u201cFUGA.\u201d The song begins with a fragment of the EZLN\u2019s  words in the Mexican Congress, demanding compliance with the San Andr\u00e9s  Accords.
