A few days ago we learned, like many of you, of the attack carried out on our comrades Zapatista support bases of the GAL La Resistencia, belonging to the Moisés y Gandhi Autonomous Region, Caracol 10 [1], by the paramilitary group Organización Regional de Cafeticultores de Ocosingo (ORCAO). We know well that this is not the first time that this criminal organization attacks our comrades and that it is a strategy that comes from above, that it is part of the integral war of attrition to try to stop the autonomy and organization of our comrades. Accumulation by dispossession is based on violence and death. But we know, as you do, that in these times of greed and power, those who organize themselves by and from autonomy and the common go for something greater: life. While up there they fight for the crumbs of the product of false democracy, called elections, below the root of a life that will shelter generations, communities and peoples is fertilized and cared for; from the destruction left by those at the top, landscapes of life are rebuilt with dignity and courage.
In the face of these attacks we want to express our indignation and dignified rage. From our collective heart we firmly say that our Zapatista comrades are not alone, that if they touch one they touch us all. We call on la Sexta and all our solidarity comrades to join this indignation and the call for an immediate cessation of the attacks on our Zapatista comrades.
Stop the war against the Zapatista peoples!
Stop the comprehensive war of attrition!
