Ayotzinapa

Let’s not get confused, IT WAS THE STATE. Tlatelolco, Aguas Blancas, Acteal, Atenco, Tlatlaya, Ayotzinapa: IT WAS THE STATE, not drug dealers. Mexico has a long list of state crimes, and the victims have not had justice in any of them, not because of the lack of demand, but because of the greedy governments.

Mexicans have been demanding a change for a long a time, we are not asleep, we know what is happening and we fight against it, sometimes pacifically, sometimes not, but it has never worked. The political class is so cynical that they continue in the power despite the countless protests against them.

It is well known that Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, ordered the massacre of hundreds of students in 1968, and that media covered it all up; nobody was found guilty. It is well known that Ernesto Zedillo ordered the massacre of indigenous people in Acteal; nobody faced trial. It is well known that the corruption in the government caused the dead of 49 children in a daycare center in Sonora; nobody was even fired. The 43 students massacre in Ayotzinapa it is not new for us, in Mexico it is punished to be indigenous, student, independent journalist, woman, peasant. It is punished with dead to fight for a better living, for a more just country, and media will cover it all up for the government.

The government, TV broadcasters, military, police and drug dealers are the same thing. And this did not start with the so called “War on drugs” that Felipe Calderon “started”. The war on drugs was just a failed desperate attempt of the government to try to get people’s confidence after the electoral fraud where he was declared president. Now they try to blame all the violence on the drug dealers, but they are behind the drug dealers.

There is no democracy in Mexico, Mexico is a silent dictatorship where demanding justice is punished with dead. It tries to give the appearance of a developing country thriving into the developed world. That is not true, every year more people die of hunger, more people has no job or no school, and things never get better. Any of the Mexican presidents have been elected in clean democratic elections, people do not get to choose what they want.

Still, let’s not get confused, it was the state, we know it and we act against it. And we will not get tired of fighting against these killing government. If we don’t get no justice, they don’t get no peace.
