THE FIGHT FOLLOWS
Oaxaca, Oax., July 23 of 2004.
To 100 days of to have initiated the indefinite long wait
front to the palace of government and 10 of to have increased the
mobilization in the State Capital of Oaxaca with the exigency of
justice, peace, respect to autonomia communitarian, stops to the
destruction of the forests, the import of transgenico corn, solution
to the agrarian conflicts, attention to the social reclamations of
clinicas, use, schools, house, right to sell in plyas of Huatulco and
Hidden Port, etc.; rejection to PPP, TLC and ALCA, the
communities chinantecas, cuicatecas, mixtecas, zapotecas, mixes,
triquis, chatinas that we are part of Popular the indigenous Council of
Oaxaca “Ricardo Magon” Flowers; CIPO-RFM we followed
in fight.
“El magonismo lives, the fight sigue”;
“autonomia, autogestion, magonista way for
liberacion”; “luchamos by the life, we want
tierra” they were the indigenouss and words that the day of
today, as to 12 of the day we evacuated the long waits in the seat of
the Dance and Tree-lined avenue. We reconstructed the one of
Santo Domingo and the Palace of Government.
The answer of Governor Jose Murat of not applying the law to
stop paramilitary and the assassins; lack of will to take care
of the conflicts agrarian, particularly the one of Sta. Catarina
Yosonotu, considered red center, that takes but of 70 assassinated
years and near 500, asi like the one of San Isidro Aloapam; to
have received single words and promises in the social demands, I take
to us to draw a new form of fight of rebellious resistance in the
capital, same city that single stopped until finding favorable answer
to our demands.
The thickness of the 1.100 women and men who we conducted
diverse battles we began to leave the city course to the communities
from the 4 of afternoon. “Vamos to take forces and to
organize the other protesta”, they said in the meeting of
goodbye in the long waits. But also we are going away to
organize the national encounter of autonomias to be made the 20 and 21
of August of 2004, in the community of Plan of Zaragoza Nuyoo,
Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca, decided in completes reunion of the National
Congress indigenous, but we left to a commission of 144 people of all
the communities in front of the palace of government and in the temple
of Sto. Domingo.
We informed that we will not retire the protest but until we
have total solution, partial or we have seen senales concrete of
fulfillment our fundamental demands: punishment to the
paramilitary ones of the CROCUT, To stop Toimil Roberts and Jacobo
Chavez, because the 16 of October of 2003 assassinated to Bartolome
Rooms and hurt to 9 of our brothers of Sta. Ma. Yaviche, in the same
way is applied justice against criminals of Bright Sta. Monteverde
that the 24 of February and 12 of Julio of 2004 respectively
assassinated to Eusebio Garcia Aparicio and Pedro Salazar Cross;
asi also to obtain proposals of solution to the agrarian
conflicts.
Days 21, 22 and 23 of July were covered by sustained activities
in the moral and cultural force with our towns. We made the
march of the corn and by the life, with a car of calenda, band of
musica, toritos, cuetes, dancers and an offering to the corn that
partio of Sto.Domingo to the Zocalo of the city. This
celebration-protest aside from the thousand of people of the CIPO-RFM,
but of five thousand people voluntarily shared it with nosotros/as.
In the end all we danced from the 9 to the 12 at night in front
of the government palace, with the youthful band of the CIPO-RFM.
Simultaneamente I settle the table of negotiation with civil
employees of state and federal the government who last 48 hours of
continuous way. The civil employees single tenian negative as
answer and desconocian their own agreements. When they do not
tenian argument the law and the norm were shielded in, and when the
law and the norm were against them, for example in the cases of
justice, they spoke of his exceptions. Since of much pressure
gave “su palabra” as far as the agrarian subjects of
justice and. They put dates to fulfill Since of the elections,
like saying: if we lose you you lose. For that reason the
fight follows.
The activities ended the installation of two chiqueros, - one in
front of palace of government and another one in the tree-lined avenue
with their respective marranitos and the legend: ASI THIS The
Political IN OAXACA. Around the chiquero they hung signboards
like: attempted car, paramilitary, narcotics detective,
talamontes, repression to indigenouss, elections, etc.
On the other hand, 207 indigenouss, academicas, eclesiasticas,
student, working organizations social, asi like artists and 11
intellectuals of paises that participated in the V mesoamericano forum
of the towns, made in San Salvador, America Center, sent a letter to
President Vicente Fox and to Governor Jose Murat, demanding: to
guarantee the security to the indigenouss of the CIPO-RFM, punishment to
the material and intellectual authors of the aggressions and death,
garantias for the life deRaul Gatica and opening for I engage in a
dialog and solution to the demands raised by the CIPO-RFM. She
ends up summoning to the different people of paises to conduct battles
to restrain the wave of violence and repression against the indigenouss
of Oaxaca and Mexico. Of equal way I pronounce the table of
Women and indigenouss of the same forum, and the platform of solidarity
with Chiapas, Oaxaca and Guatemala, jointly with those of Vigo, when
they occupied, in Madrid, the embassy of Mexico in Espana, where they
gave to the ambassador a document with 1347 companies of citizens of
the state espanol and pais Basque.
We called to ciudadania not to let itself enganar with the
calumnies spread by radio, television and presses written,
orchestrated, directed, operated and financed from the government of
Jose Murat to strike, to discredit, to isolate, to moderate, to cause
and to offend in the sense that we are financed by in favor interests,
because we want to leave very clear: the CIPO-RFM does not
participate, is not part and less it has simpatia by algun started off
politico, to lider, personage or candidate some that disputes to the
power in this or any other electoral fight, because our fight is by
the transformation of the world without taking the power, exposition
that nothing has to do with parties, you lead, elections, civil
employees, etc., because our way is autonomia, the processes of
autogestion, the bows of coexistence and mutual aid between the
communities, the participation and direct action, asi like the free
association of the towns.
It is not truth that our brother - leader and less lider- Raul
Gatica had not met with candidate to governor some. Neither Raul
Gatica nor any member of the CIPO-RFM we have practices to reunite to
us in the oscurito, short, by aside, or of any other form with
anybody. Ademas, our brother by the fact that it is wanted to
him to assassinate, when is in the city, never walks single and less
it goes to meetings, reason why to mention or to write something
related to meetings of to other personages is part of the slander bell
against the CIPO-RFM.
The information is false that speaks of a defining with the
FSODO, because our interest this in fortifying the unit with
hermanos/as that of some or another form fight, without mattering that
we agree or no. With respect to the saying of the press aid and
propaganda of Section 22 of the SNTE/CNTE, it causes sorrow that not
this informed into the agreements and uprisings to us of the State
Assembly, place where this the information that him lack.
We took advantage of the occasion to thank for the support which
we received from ciudadania, visitors, workers, students and of the
town in general in this fight, because thanks to its cooperation we
could, but of thousand people, to stay during 10 days of intense
fight. We summoned them to continue supporting with its letters,
post office, telefonicas calls, visits, uprisings and all action that
make of support, also to be pending of which we do in this fight
continued with another modality, so that in case of taking shape the
repressive anxieties of the government you can restrain it like until
today.
By the reconstruction and it frees association of our towns.
