Compañeros and compañeras, through these words we pronounce ourselves against the counterinsurgency war that is being waged throughout the Mexican territory, which the Mexican state and its paramilitary groups continue to implement, most notably against Zapatista communities, EZLN support bases, and indigenous and campesino peoples in the state of Guerrero.
We denounce the imprisonment of comrade Manuel Gómez, and the recent attacks perpetrated many years ago and their intensification as of May 27, 2023 in the support base communities of Moisés Gandhi by the ORCAO, a paramilitary group that operates under the cover of the three levels of government with impunity, We also denounce the growing influence of organized crime groups in Chiapas and Guerrero, all of which have the same goal, which is the destruction and weakening of the autonomies that the peoples have built for decades and that have managed to stop the death and violence of the capitalist system that rules the world and protects the bad government. the world and that protects the bad Mexican government shielded in its 4T we call it (fourth destruction) as a good foreman follows the neoliberal policies that only dispossess and murder the communities that resist the destructive policies that want to disappear the native communities of Mexico and the world.
We make it clear from our Guerrero communities that we suffer the same displacements and deaths that we resist on a daily basis. Fellow Zapatistas, we raise our voices to tell you that you are not alone and that if you touch one of us, you touch us all.
That with the clear example that they give us we will defend autonomy because it is the only way out of the war of extermination of the Narcostate, we will continue defending the water, the mountains, jungles, forests, seas and in general we will continue defending the mother earth that as our commander Emiliano Zapata said the land belongs to those who work it and without it there is no life on this planet.
We join the call of the national indigenous congress and we take up their demands:
That the health of comrade Jorge be guaranteed and that all necessary attention be provided for the time required.
That the armed attack against the community of Moisés Gandhi be stopped and that their autonomous territory be respected.
That the material and intellectual authors of these attacks be punished.
That the armed groups through which the war against the Zapatista communities is active and growing be dismantled.
As well as the immediate release of Manuel Gómez, support base of the EZLN, whose unjust imprisonment we do not forget.
