Mexico City. The Cananea workers affiliated with Section 65 of the Mining Union once again demanded the intervention of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, so that the strike that he is in for 17 years is resolved.

He notes that on this May 1, “we continue to fight for our human rights, illegally, taken from us by Germán Feliciano Larrea, owner of the Mexico group, in complicity with the neoliberal governments that acted as managers of his mining consortium.”

The Cananea miners point out to President López Obrador that although he has given clear and precise instructions to different State Secretariats, such as Labor and the Interior, the officials in charge have not taken them into account and access Justice continues to be denied.

The 657 of Cananea and their families “we have not lost hope in you,” they warn and insist that in the hands of the federal executive, it is “to dignify the fight they have waged in these 17 years against Larrea, to free a people oppressed who has done everything to achieve justice.”

The struggle of the workers of the historic copper mine, located in Cananea, “cannot and should not be buried, we will continue fighting for the vindication of our human rights, violated by the owner of Grupo México, until we recover what we lost.”
We hope, they conclude, that this May 1 “we will commemorate the long-awaited triumph at the hands of the best president in the modern history of our country.”
