electricians alone, the CNTE single, the Oaxacan alone and Lopez Obrador himself. Pedro Echeverria V.
1. Perhaps my hopes in the sense that the struggles of workers against exploitation and oppression are increasingly large and numerous, I get depressed looking at reality, renounce and adopted a pessimistic position. I do not think he would be right if part of the idea that in five or 10 years should change things, but after 50 years of living on a daily basis that sometimes I actually think that instead of the progressive movements in a spiral, each generation turns only in the circle repeats. In the early sixties recorded anticolonial struggles, anti-imperialist revolution, guerrillas and protests by thousands, the music, clothing, release processes did change the world. What happens 50 years later? It would seem that things are repeated at another level higher, but in reality were only superficial changes, to keep everything the same.
2. I stopped for hours in front of large electrical camp where they are on hunger strike about 50 workers from the original 80. More than 30 have been raised and taken to hospital to be in poor health. Tens, perhaps several hundred, in other camps around his teammates with whom I talk and ask them. In the "plate" of the Zocalo in Mexico City, from 120 to 120 meters no longer seems to fit you another camp because even the teachers CNTE of Oaxaca, Michoacán and other states will hold two weeks ago. It is reprehensible that seem "distant neighbors" with different political objectives, even in the speech to declare that they are supported. At least this is what we saw on Friday May 28 in organizing the march to the Ministry of Interior: total lack of camaraderie, even among the contingents of the CNTE.
3. To split the running between the section 18, which left the Zocalo on May 5 (west), and section 22 that went by Pino Suárez (south), there was a great division, the first soon became Governor where it was received, but the second, which succeeded, to break down large grilles militarized Televisa and TV interview with the leadership of Oaxaca, was later, under heavy rain, to the Interior. In this last column is added a small contingent of 300 electricians. In addition, while these two marches were held in the building of Section IX of the City conducted a Congress CNTE education teachers with hundreds of delegates from around the country. For uncoordinated national events were held halfway. What result could expect from the "negotiations" between workers divided, scattered and weak and Ministry of Interior who knows everything, watches everything and hears everything?
4. What results? A new appointment to the authorities, as they have done for 30 years will continue to play the finger at the mouth of the CNTE teachers. And the resolutions of the "4 º. Alternative Education Congress CNTE held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in halls and auditorium of the IX? Will soon posted to file-like those that came out of the three previous conferences, because to put them into practice is required to have strength and power which could not have CNTE. What did the teachers of Oaxaca as they marched each other serving as delegates to the conference school? Thinking about that on Monday May 31 had to be installed in the Zocalo of Oaxaca City to start a large encampment by region to conclude-if not resolvérseles their demands in a general strike. Could be present and observe from the six o'clock occupation.
5. Thousand and one political, union, protest among electricians, teachers, peasants, but without any coordination between them and each one fighting for individual interests. Meanwhile, the Fascist government of Felipe Calderón, playing dumb, or Smart-expected better spending a few days for all electricians on a hunger strike to pass through the hospital and retreat to his house, expects teachers repeat-until you drop-in events and experiences that teachers can wear Oaxaca in their encampment and then eviction. Or electricians, or oil, teachers, peasants and indigenous supporters, no one supports anyone. However, while the PRI, PAN and PRD seem to fight in the open, in the dark are taken great care and, when necessary, unify forces to condemn and suppress the fighting moves that are really left.
6. It is inconceivable, incredible or what have you, think that the only forces fighting the government and kidnap businessmen are called drug traffickers even already have a strong army called the Zetas. Have confronted both with the army, police, employers and the government to appear honest leftists. Unfortunately, their objectives are different, coincide with those of the bourgeoisie business and government: accumulate huge wealth, get a lot of power, wasting this money on entertainment with "girls" and submit or kill their opponents. The reality is that I've got to consider their actions and their dynamics, only to be completely infiltrated into government officials, Army and police and hundreds of businessmen associated with the drug dealers live setting "Laundry" dollars and pesos.
7. What worker, citizen, student, going to support a motion if he did not have collateral, which is very easy for the "mother", lose their jobs, imprisoned and murdered by the government? How many thousands of movements in the country have been thwarted by the ruling class for not getting up again? Mark had not been silenced, and López Obrador had been stripped, or APPO was destroyed, and the EMS had derailed or stalled CNTE nor the EPR was claiming missing if there is honesty and modesty among movement leaders, but gives the impression that every leader wants to keep its small chapel, its small reserve of power, before it is put into play against other leaders. When we study and think well this reality that we live for at least 50 years may find that they are the leaders who avoid the unit and that the bases have not been able to free themselves from their leaders.
