Atenco, another 5 May. Chilanga OTHER MAKUILLI 
Days after another on May 5. been five years, a thousand 825 days and nights yet, even so, the stench of impunity that was present in the air that morning of May 5, 2006 persists in his intention to leave us clear "who's in charge here ". Although not very well get it.
Yes, I mean another week of May 5. One morning, after which there are also many other times very different.
I do not speak, then, for now, the July 11, 2002, when at least a thousand items Action Force and Rapid Response (Faria) mexiquense fought against a hundred ejidatarios of the Peoples Front in Defense of Earth (FPDT) who resisted the government attempted to expropriate their lands Fox at a rate of 7 pesos per square meter to build an alternate airport to the city of Mexico that resulted in scores of arrests and injuries, and death, two weeks later, José Enrique Espinoza Juarez. Neither the March 7, 2006, when the PAN candidate for the Presidency of Republic, Felipe Calderón, also known Felipe Franco and Pinochet, arrogantly declared their intention to retry the spoils that his predecessor was unable to carry out four years ago: "they are not experts and machetes, which determine the construction [of the Metropolitan Airport]."
not speak on April 21, a day after the attack police and farmers against market gardeners and growers Belisario Dominguez, where they were also beaten and beaten dozens of women and the elderly. Neither am on May 3 of that 2006 when, after a dialogue with "authorities" of the PRD city council on the eve Texcoco had secured permission to the sale of flowers that day the Santa Cruz in the municipal market, the growers and would be relocated with great violence; curtain that would lead to clashes in federal highway-Dairy Texcoco whose images would circle the world in 80 kilobytes, becoming an increasingly strange sample of the foolishness and stupidity of government and so-called electronic means of communication in Mexico.
Moreover, even talk about that painful morning of May 4 when, urged the media and with the consent of political dwarf would arrive some months later due to power and effect of electoral fraud, officials desfuncionales government of the State of Mexico, PRI, and the Public Security Secretariat (SSP) federal, PAN, began operating retribution that claimed the wound received in proud military police uniforms yesterday, wiping out everything and everyone in Atenco. I still remember like it was yesterday, ringing of the phone ringing for hours into a cheap copy of the trumpets will ring allegedly Angels of the Apocalypse, draining the figures of hundreds of comrades from the Other Campaign persecuted @ s, Arrest @ s, s and beaten, kidnapped and tortured @ s with physical, verbal, psychological and sexual assaults at the hands of those who call themselves guardians of order. "
's Eve.
I do not, because I prefer to talk about the morning of May 5, 2006, that in which the country woke up being a very other. The clashes of the past 48 hours detention, among others, of Ignacio del Valle and the murder of Javier Cortés Santiago child about day 3, and illegal searches and arrests, exemplary in its brutality, day 4, had been closed the door to Mexico in 1997 and 2000 held with the triumphs of the opposition in of Mexico City and the federal government, respectively, the alleged entry to the list of democratic countries in the world after the expulsion of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) Los Pinos. However, the facts, as always tend to be more stubborn than those ended up showing in all its nakedness the likes of those on one side of the political spectrum, under the banner of the National Action Party (PAN), had proclaimed the champions of progress and democracy over 67 years, and those on the other, with the name of Party of the Revolution Democratic Party (PRD), boasted in 1989 represent the cream of the Left party, were so undemocratic and repressive as the sad and long celebrated "perfect dictatorship" (Vargas Llosa dixit) of the PRI.
brutality manifested in San Salvador Atenco had put everyone in their place: the PRI candidate, famous for doing fraud to international marathons, congratulated the governor of his party in the State of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, the violent solution, the PAN defended the federal government's revenge-white and said to be in this situation he would have done the same, and the PRD, more concerned with the 10-point lead of said lead in the polls, barely managed to condemn the violence "came from who come", but failed, perhaps because he would not, even the stars indicate the mayor of Texcoco, of his own party, against the FPDT: "we have nothing to do with this case, in this conflict. This is a group that has said you do not agree with us. "
In keeping with the electoral circus singing voices, this morning the major constituents: the media, took on the task of the FPDT insult to the Another Campaign, Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) and his military chief and spokesman, Subcomandante Marcos , all adherents of the Sixth Declaration of Lacandon Jungle , issued in June 2005 by the rebel organization. In most radio programs, news of the two television channels that have cornered the spectrum and the press was aware of the "courage" and coordination with the soldiers disguised as federal agents and state public safety had "gained control" of the square "Liberated" to "police" held the night of May 3 and guaranteed "return of peace and order" had talked to the experts, not machetes.
The newspaper La Jornada , which had remained relatively distant from the Another campaign because of accusations that the Zapatista movement has done to the coverage except for López Obrador to date do Hermann Bellinghausen and Gloria Muñoz Ramírez, promised much and showed what "courage" of what "regain control" of what "Liberation of police" and what "restoring peace and order" issue: the worker retired telephonist toletiza Jorge Salinas, humiliation an indigenous woman, which we later learned was Dona Magdalena Garcia, searches without warrants and destruction of goods property, kidnapping, rather than arrest, of 218 men and women, most of them, 30, 47, raped as a method of torture, the fractured skull with exposed brains of Alexis Benhumea caused by the impact of a tin tear gas, which then cause death because the military prevented an ambulance arrived and arrested the doctor who tried help, or the arrest and subsequent expulsion of English María Sostres and Cristina Valls, Samantha Dietmar German, Chilean and Chilean Valentina Palma Mario Aguirre.
Also that morning, the morning Behind the News , led by Ricardo Rocha, spread the statements of excomisionado ASE Vice Admiral Wilfrido Robledo Madrid, who remain at the forefront of the PFP had to resign on charges of embezzlement and misuse of powers and faculties, that his forces would not leave San Salvador Atenco, but to "ensure that peace was fully restored." The Commander Lira José Antonio Villanueva, head of sub-national military service Navy Mexico, not be left behind: that same day manifest itself under the flag pledge ceremony of 150 young conscripts that "recent events of violence and confrontation between social actors and government authorities are isolated incidents of people protagonist who wants to be on the political and social scenarios" and, after biting his tongue, as they say, said the youth prepared Navy "be ready" if required by the Mexican State. O everlasting May 5 that calls for weapons of Homeland want to dress glory .. even repressing social movements.
So which one paraphrase of May 5, 1862 when invading French troops and Mexican conservatives who supported them were defeated by the Liberals led by Ignacio Zaragoza in the Heroic , now former Precious , Puebla, sides had been clearly established: first, that of the invaders, the military state and federal PRI and PAN, defenders of the neoliberal right to strip land to communities and villages, most of the media spreading their tentacles and showing their thumbs down and the candidates for the Presidency , and congratulating, and keeping a silent accomplice of another, the heirs of Numancia, and residents of San Salvador Atenco, the FPDT, the adherent and the Another Campaign who met one day to more than four years without trial prisoners and detainees with any crime, and the hundreds at first and then thousands of supporters that day that we were getting ready to recover, we do, Atenco .
When dignity is greater than fear.
the afternoon of 5 May 2006, the march led by delegate zero of Sixth Commission of the EZLN, Subcomandante Marcos , and contingents of students UACh , IPN, UNAM and UAM , arrived at the base of Texcoco adding just over 4 thousand people, twice the number who had gone out of Chapingo, when we reached the entrance of San Salvador Atenco, just minutes before it started to get dark, we were already about 7 thousand people waiting, armed with reason and dignity, the encounter with the agents of the ASE and PFP who say not Robledo Madrid withdraw from Atenco until 6 or May 7, but when the march reached the main square, opposite House of Culture where dozens of colleagues and the nurse Edith Rosales were beaten and arrested, not saw not a single military or even the municipal police.
Just over three hours did the trip that ended with a rally outside the auditorium Emiliano Zapata and was crowned by the press of Gloria Arenas, detained in the prison of Chiconautla, Ecatepec, and Valle America, whom state and federal police are seeking up under the rocks. The icing on the cake would put Mark to show some cartridges .38 caliber, empty ones, without impact others, "if reviewed, invited the delegate zero - see who are of the same brand and the same caliber used by the police of the State of Mexico." In response, shouts of "Murderers! Murderers! "Would go up by unanimous roll in the center of Atenco.
Under Mexican law is a crime to incite rebellion and destabilization of the state and its institutions. Therefore, the PRD Nazario Gutiérrez Martínez, mayor of Texcoco, the PRI Enrique Peña Nieto and Humberto Benítez Treviño, governor and secretary of the State Government of Mexico; the PAN's Vicente Fox Quezada, president of Mexico, Mr. Roberto Madrazo, Felipe Calderón and Andrés Manuel López Obrador, former presidential candidate of the PRI, PAN and PRD, the military and Ardelio Wilfrido Robledo Madrid Vargas Fosado, then senior members of the ASE State of Mexico and the PFP , Attorney Eduardo Medina-Mora Icaza, the SSP extitular of federal and subsequently awarded by the government (sic) Calderon, as Attorney General of Justice, and finally, entrepreneurs and Emilio Azcarraga Jean Ricardo Salinas Pliego, owner of Televisa and TvAzteca, respectively, along with drivers and conductors of their news, are responsible to further the destabilization of the state and its institutions: it does not meet its word in the dialogue table with flower growers and members of the FPDT Texcoco, by insisting on depriving people have joined the FPDT of their lands, on behalf of projects that ensure the profits of individuals above the collective right of communities to welcome the government's use of violence or remain silent for it by being opinion leaders in their parties, thus giving a boost to impunity, to give carte open to their subordinates to commit the whole range of abuses they wanted, including the rape of women as spoils of war, to lay hold of the apparatus of justice to condemn up to more than 100 years in prison against social, political retaliation, the concession of radio spectrum used to whip the armed forces in the use of violence against social movements, and not let people and community choice but to revolt, as a defense against a government from all levels and powers committed to the logic of force because it lacks the force of reason.
Five years later, murder and rape have gone unpunished, not one of the officers involved in the violations have been recorded, most public officials remain in office and those who do not, or have given up getting rid of accusations against him, or to have been awarded the PAN facto government, which, incidentally, has again proposed the construction of the airport in Texcoco with the approval of PRI governor State of Mexico and the mayor PRD of Mexico City. Gradually, thanks to the tireless job of lawyers and thousands of people in solidarity and honesty, and social activists arrested in Atenco on May 4 were out of jail, leaving at the end the following cases: Ignacio del Valle Medina, Héctor Galindo and Felipe Alvarez Hernández Gochicoa political prisoners in high security penal del Altiplano Adam Roman and Ordóñez Romero, Alejandro Pilon Zacate, Jorge Alberto Romero Ordóñez, Inés Rodolfo Cuellar Rivera, Narciso Arellano Hernandez, Julio César Espinoza Ramos, Oscar Hernández Pacheco, Juan Carlos Estrada Cruces and Edgar Eduardo Morales Reyes, political prisoners in jail Mill Flower, who were released on July 1, 2010.
say that the strength and dignity of movement is expressed in the answer it gives when it is repressed and beaten and yours are. Another The Campaign, which in 2006 was seen by Tyrian and Trojan horses as the great spoiler electoral circus, but no real power to prevent the succession of events that gave carte blanche to the ridicule of the popular will expressed at the polls because the national project of the construction of new forms of politics, do not hesitate to respond the extent of his forces to call the fight made them: they were to Chapingo and Atenco there the night of May 3 to be harassed and humiliated the next day and continue to be hijacked by all these months, marched unarmed, unarmed , at what seemed the umpteenth episode of that barbaric act of repression, organized countless demonstrations and roundtables to demand the release of her classmates and companions plants remained outside the prisons where they were abducted by aquesta Esatdo and continue making use of alternative media to speak out and make it resonate in other parts of the planet.
True, the response from the adherents and the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Seva has not been uniform or, much less massive, but that 5 May and they showed that they would not be as telling of the left who have allied themselves with the power, taking pictures with the oppressors become friends of the spoils and keep quiet of the slaughter, betraying the memory of the more than 500 of his colleagues killed by them with which I walk, eat and provide, shredding them vultures, having a seat at the table of power.
Epilogue: "What is missing."
As I write these notes (much of which I myself borrowed from a previous post three years ago), another march was walking along the paths of dignity in these Mexican lands. His character is as wide as great is the pain that the summons, because the top surviving victims of the stupid war that Franco Felipe Pinochet opened just hanging over the presidential sash encroaching from the December 1, 2006. Neither the EZLN and the Other Campaign, it is clear it is because one of its first convening. Not because they suffer from the rampant stupidity of those above ordering, but because the pain that hurts this time can not be shared ... may be associated, for example, with silence. A silence, like we used to be the Zapatista silence: in absentia in resistance. So, consequently, the CCRI-CG of the EZLN and certain groups and organizations of the Other Campaign has decided to join the call that for now until May 8 and made the youth of the Network for Peace and Justice Javier Sicilia poet walking in silence against impunity and for a just and dignified the base of Mexico City. But, not only as an act of sympathy, but, above all, to walk with good and honest people from their own pain Blood decided to go out and take to the streets to turn the tide of death that has led us politicians and organized crime in this country. + NO BLOOD! MOTHER ARE UP!
