TUXTLA GUTIÉRREZ, Chis. (proceso.com.mx) .- The Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN), the National Congress of Indigenous Peoples (CNI) and its Council of Indigenous Government (IGC) rejected the construction of the "megaproject of death" of the New International Airport of Mexico (NAIM) and have expressed their solidarity and support to the Honduran people who have been forced to migrate in the face of crises caused by the dispossession of lands and territories by the governments of Central American countries.
In a joint statement, the CNI and EZLN said they saw, followed and experienced the struggle of the peoples of Lake Texcoco and surrounding areas. And do not forget the May 2006 crackdown, sexual torture, unjust imprisonment of members of the Peoples Front for the Defense of the Earth and the Sixth National and International.
As well as the murder of Ollin Alexis Benhumea and the minor Francisco Javier Cortés Santiago; repression ordered by Vicente Fox and Enrique Peña Nieto, with the support and "applause" of the entire political spectrum above, including those who present themselves today as "the change".
The groups explained that with their "aerópolis", without any respect for the law, the "bad governments" said to consult the Mexicans if they preferred the airport of Lake Texcoco or Santa Lucia , but they considered that both projects involved the dispossession of the surrounding territories, devastation of the environment and commodification of community life.
According to the organizations, one or the other option aims to "strengthen neoliberal capitalism as the executioner of our peoples" for the benefit of some.
"This is not what the governors are asking us to decide where to place the new airport, because if they were a little ashamed at the millions of dispossessed people, victims of dispossession, poverty, repression, before those who have to migrate by the thousands before destruction all over the world, in front of our mother the land that can no longer bear the serious illness caused by capitalism the question should be if we agree that
continue or not on this path that leads us all to death, war, extermination, "they said in a statement.
"The NAICM is not the only piece they need to finish disfiguring this country and shape the tragedy that is just beginning." Our word and call will continue to be organized
in resistance and rebellion, which is the struggle for life, "add the groups.
The signatories of the document recognized and applauded the struggle of those who decided to participate or not in the consultation of the NAIM and called for an end to the destruction of the territories of origin, peasant and urban.
"Indigenous peoples can not say yes to our extermination, even if the bad government claims to be consulting, even if it falsifies votes, even if it buys them or has them seduced by the Mexican people. L & # 39; assault
against territories that support life and against freedom, it will not be in our name, "assured the Zapatistas and the CNI.
Similarly, they ensured that among the negative impacts of "megaprojects", they forced the affected inhabitants to emigrate in search of life stolen from their place of origin.
"In the pain of these" migrants ", our march tomorrow if we do not organize ourselves already to defend life", they assured.
