This past August 31, the Assembly of Free and Community Radios of Oaxaca came to a close in the village of Zaachila, Oaxaca- Zapotec territory, as the federal government was embarking on a nation-wide escalation of repression against free and community radios, whose transmissions are an expression of their constitutional and basic human rights.

“We demand security against kidnapping, too!” Rejection of new sentences in Atenco case |

Yesterday, outside the Molino de Flores prison, about 70 members of the Peoples’ Front in Defense of the Land (FPDT) of San Salvador Atenco and members of The Other Campaign shouted out their rejection of the brutal new sentences in the Atenco case while the Zapatista Lawyers went inside to file an appeal. Demonstrators called to the state police (ASES) guarding the gate: “How can you look your own children in the face? They’re poor, like us. What if they turn out to be rebels? Are you going to murder, rape, and torture them, too?” And... voilá! Leaving the prison, the lawyer Juan de Dios Hernández reported that Judge Alberto Cervantes, who determined the new sentences, has been replaced. On charges of kidnapping? Conspiracy? Corruption? Ineptitude? None of the above. He was never anything but a vile prosecutor disguised as a judge who had his little deal worked out with the statewide mafia headed by Governor Enrique Peña Nieto. He did the dirty work he was charged with, endorsing and prolonging the kidnapping of Ignacio del Valle and all the other compañeros that took place in Atenco and Texcoco on May 3 and 4, 2006 and has continued ever since then.

The real cause of poverty suddenly dawned upon the governor of Mexico’s southernmost state this year. Naturally it has nothing to do with the way Capitalism functions, the problem according to Juan Sabines Guerrero from the so-called “left-wing” government, the PRD (Democratic Revolution Party), is that people in the state of Chiapas are too “disperse” and for that reason government services can’t reach them. Curiously, this realisation came to the functionary while large areas of Chiapas were gripped by massive inundations and the inadequacy of government and state institutions was (once again) painfully showing. Today in Chiapas, those demanding the right to govern themselves are in ever increasing numbers. The EZLN, the Resistance Network Against the Federal Electricity Commission, various political prisoners collectives and civil society organizations who collectively identify themselves as the Other Campaign, and thousands of indigenous communities whose languages, customs and traditional governments form formidable opposition to Government control.
