We have insisted on I engage in a dialog but the 17 of July, Since of 4 hours of delay the governor respondio of crude and offensive way before the commission: “No I recognize ningun agreement with the CIPO-RFM because he is not like other organizations who understand the situation of the government and they do not alter orden”, “haganle as they want but I do not go to respect ningun compromiso” The widows, huerfanos and injured by the paramilitary ones asked “ to him; because you do not love to act against asesinos?” “ because she protects to paramilitares?” to which, before going away shout: “atenganse the consequences, by its fault no longer I went to the parade of the delegations that dance Monday of cerro”. From this threat, the same day our protest located in the Temple of Sto. Domingo, the Seat of the dance, Tree-lined avenue of Leon and In front of government palace was surrounded with metalicas fences protected by thousands of policias, operative never a sight brake the attempt of a contingent ours that pretendia to occupy the Guelaguetza audience. From that day they have to us immobilized, they do not let to us introduce water and the policia causes in each short while.
All this repression demonstrates that the government this protecting to the paramilitary ones and does not have interest in taking care of the indigenouss communities.
