Member of the organizing meeting
In Popular the indigenous Council of Oaxaca "Ricardo Flores Magon" we used the fight against those who, by many years, has denied us the possibility of being we ourself.
The governments are one of the instruments that use powerful,
the duenos ones of the world, for the destruction of our communities,
and is against them against those who ours organizacion faces a fight
without rest. To all we it is clear that the governors are the
enemy and who single the organized force of our communities sera able
to make them understand that they estan to serve the town.
With the Government we know clearly confrontacion. For us
the governors, Secretaries of State, deputies and civil employees, are
the parasitos that have robbed by many years the money of the town.
To them we demanded to them what he corresponds to us, for
example, by means of manifestations we spoke with the governor of the
State, we do it demanding that feels to recognize that we existed,
that we thought. Asi also we expose the reclamations of our
communities: justice, health, schools, ways. If we do not
do asi to him, the governments ignore to us or they promise to us that
our problems without doing it would resolveran.
In spite of the fight, in our communities the harassment of
paramilitary groups and threats of death, the continuous lack of
medicines, schools
, ways being the daily reality. Today in day we have understood that the unica way in which our listened to sera voice is to demonstrate, to those who they press to
us, to those who take of our earth the wealth, that we will face them
fighting in pacifica form, organized, platicada, discussing and
deciding between the towns.
The HEROES PROTEST
Like organizacion pacifica, our forms of manifestation include the marches, long waits, blockades of highways,
cultural, Politicall programs, bells of denunciations. In order
to face the repression we treated in being original in each day of
fight, that is as we called to the protests.
For organizacion of the fight we met in the Assembly of Advice
of the Councils, ahi we discussed as or as the strategies would seran
to develop in the days of fight. For example, in the
mobilization of the 20 of November of year 2000, when we were
surrounded by the Armed Forces of the government ready to evacuate to
us, women and ninos gave a white flower in senal of peace. In
November of 2001, naked and painted from skull we arrived at the House
of the Government and removing from our bones 5 cm. of blood we made
dots we demanded the respect to the human rights of the indigenouss
towns. In December of 2002, when one said to us that if
marchabamos reprimirian to us, we made a peregrination
(celebration with musica, rockets, whistles,
songs, saints, etc.) in which we called REBELLIOUS INN, in her
we sang verses that denounced the repression in our communities.
In all the cases the mass media (periodic, magazines, radio and
television) have disqualified the fight of ours organizacion, saying
that we are provoking, violent, destabilizing, intransigentes, etc.
In spite of all the disqualifications we can feel proud that we
have left to an antecedent of other forms of manifestation, using the
imagination and creativity.
At the moment other organizations sisters have taken as she
bases for his protests our innovations. Asi manifestations in
which single the avenues are recorrian blocking the passage of
vehiculos, has been changing by activities creative that has a
different impact in-the civil society, which they wake up his
simpatia, gain their support and mainly they have a load of politico
character that to the government disturbs to him and to the mass media
they do not have left another alternative which to recognize that we
demanded right things; although everything is relative, because
in general the press in the state of Oaxaca receives money of the
government for we attacked.
But the fight also goes to the interior of ours organizacion, a
fight against we ourself: against the lack of solidarity,
autocritica, the individualismo, the ego, the tempers, attitudes that
are not faciles to eradicate. Qualification with games, songs,
exercises to paint,
to trim and other but, are of activities that but importance we give him in ours organizacion, because we are conscientious that stops to change the injustices that
we suffer, we must start off of the recognition of the reality.
We know that in this fight we are not single, that in other
parts of the world, communities, groups, unions, etc., fight against
just like we. That gives but force us to fight, not to waver.
