Within the framework of the agreements reached at the Closing Plenary of the 4th. National Assembly for Water and Life, held on 23 and 24 March at the Magdalena Tlaltelulco Tlaxcala and. . .

Recognizing. That we face more and more a bloody Capitalist War against life and for the hoarding of water. This war has intensified and institutionalized with the arrival of the 4th Transformation; that is, the problem is not new; “. . . is rooted in the concession system that originated with the 1992 National Water Law and, in particular, with the amendment to Article 27 of the Constitution, to encourage, promote and facilitate the privatization of communal and ejidal lands, but also the privatization of water”, therefore, “Concessions become property titles for commercialization, that is, they become a commodity like land”. As a result, in the face of the institutionalization of the dispossession of water, CONAGUA continues to deliver the vital liquid to transnational corporations and private initiative, through “concessions” that are nothing more than a covert way of privatizing water. As a result, in Mexico there are 157 overexploited aquifers; let us name some of the biggest water grabbers: Danone extracts 15 billion liters of water a year, Coca-cola 55 billion liters, Pepsico has concessions 32 billion liters. water, Danone 15, 400 million and Nestlé 9,700 million, not counting real estate companies, agribusiness, paper companies, automotive companies, mining companies, etc. , and. . .

Reaffirming. THAT OUR STRUGGLE IS FOR LIFE. Therefore, from all corners of the Homeland where the resistance and rebellion of the organizations, collectives, networks, individuals and the indigenous peoples and communities of the National Indigenous Congress, CNI-CIG, are born, we raise our voices to say that while those above celebrate the betrayal of our General Emiliano Zapata Salazar, that is, celebrate his assassination, we here below not only remember his worthy struggle, his noble cause, but we walk in his footsteps with dignity. Because Zapata is not dead, he rides in our hearts to defeat the bad government, to defeat the Carranza and Guajardo of the Fourth Transformation. The same people who murdered Zapata 105 years ago are the same people who murdered our brothers Samir Flores Soberanes five years ago, on the lands of our General, who defended the territory, opposed the gas pipeline and opposed the thermoelectric plants that were installed in Huexca. Samir Vive, in the dignified struggle and resistance of the Peoples’ Front in Defense of Land and Water of Morelos, Puebla and Tlaxcala

For all this and because WE DO NOT SELL, DO NOT BETRAY and DO NOT GIVE UP, we call for national and international mobilizations, within the framework of the. . .
