Acteal, Chenalho, Chiapas .- While the different activities of the 13th Commemoration of the Slaughter of mourning gave Acteal home, while landing in Chiapas and participants caravans in solidarity with the Zapatista autonomous municipalities in other parts of the English students took to the streets of London demonstrating against education reforms, the Italian and / Rome I cried loudly Enough of the telecracy Berlusconi!, male and female workers is from Madrid and Bangladesh in the streets demanding fair wages while the Greek and marching against the neoliberal privatization. While activists and members of peasant and indigenous organizations were returning to their places of origin after having participated in the alternative forums held in Cancun (Mexico) in the face of COP 16. One might ask what they have in common but these demonstrations, meetings, forums, if in places as distant, different and apparently unrelated to each other? For without doubt, that the participants in them are demanding in their own way, a dignified and fair for those who do not.
in Mexico in different communities, the participants of the Other Campaign built on day to day, Another Justice, and as part of networking, the Civil Society Organization Bees build over, claimed in this 13 Anniversary the Slaughter of Acteal, justice for the state crime committed in 1997 against Maya tsotsiles: 19 women, 14 girls, 4 boys, 8 and 4 men unborn. As explained by the authorities of the Civil Society Organization Bees, the 13th commemoration activities are intended to remind both them / as they are alive / as and will continue to resist "and pay to keep alive the memory of the Martyrs of Acteal. This facing a situation in which new forms of violence make us forget the past crimes.
Bees (as popularly call to that organization), using all their creativity, launched, once again, your claim of "peace with justice and dignity"; claim expressly directed the Mexican State with a copy to civil society and the very international courts. So Bees said No to impunity not the release of paramilitary and to support their arguments showed a video produced by them which includes the testimonies of survivors victims of Slaughter ( video entitled: "Acteal, 10 years of impunity and many more?"). And this 20, 21 and 22 December, The Bee, in the same place where it occurred the Slaughter, drew on his art (his choir, his musical and theater groups), their community communicators, their weaving, their traditional doctors, their own university educators and root resistance to weave with national and international solidarity, with human rights defenders, members of the Artists Network, and anthropologist communicators' @ s of Chiapas, with the university committed, members of groups of free media, the social activist Ignacio del Valle and co-Atenco with members of the Resistance in the Northern Zone as well as youth organization Palenque and women religious committed to the struggles of peoples. Before it can truly say that The Bee, like the Zapatistas are not alone.
On December 21 in Acteal, into thundering of the machetes of the companions of Atenco, three were the screams: Acteal lives, the struggle continues! Atenco lives, the struggle continues! EZLN, the Zapatista autonomous communities live and 13 the number of mourning commemorating the Slaughter. 13 in the Maya cosmology, stress on your call Bees, means "the union of heaven to land "and perhaps that is why the cosmic forces that gave us early hours of 21 December, a sample of this union in the eclipse of the moon that prompted the authorities to be replicated over and over again the bells of the church.
"Weaving the unity among different peoples and struggles," tejernos from our roots that have not been cut, "were words heard in the plenary of the working groups of the workshop in Acteal December 21. Autonomy and Resistance! were the keys in which they spoke and built. And no coincidence that the political declaration result of the workshop will emphasize with great indignation and anger that the current forms of counter-insurgency is operating: buying leaders, through government programs that truly seek the social control of people and their division, through intimidation and selective repression. Given this and Bees / comprometiéronse assistants to continue "weaving strategies to achieve true justice among all."
