San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chis. Ten years after the disappearance of the 43 normalistas from Ayotzinapa, there has been “neither truth nor justice,” stated the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN).
“Not the slightest empathy from those who have the power only to show off and show off, but not to serve and resolve. The executioner intends to present himself as a victim,” he added in a statement released this Thursday, signed by Subcommander Moisés.
In this long journey, he elaborated in the document addressed “to the mothers, fathers, fellow students, companions of those absent from Ayotzinapa”, “they have encountered betrayals, with those who only used their pain to have a position, a cause to change color in the government, or, the most miserable, a payment.”
He stated that “we know the pain and anger of understanding now that, no matter the color, contempt and lies continue up there. We know that it has not only been the hope of finding those who are missing that has moved them, because in these years their pain has extended to the thousands of relatives of the missing people in this country.”
He added: “And every mother, every father, family member, friend, has deepened that pain until it reaches its bed of rage that it seeks and does not find.”
The EZLN expressed that “in bad governments, the hunter’s gaze continues looking for his next victim. But… We, the Zapatista peoples, believe that we have in common with you this feeling that is only found in the hearts of those who fight.”
He maintained that “the day will come when the figures of those who tirelessly search for those who need them, of the fathers and mothers of those absent from Ayotzinapa, of their fellow students, of their teachers, of their relatives and friends, will be associated with two words whose real absence this geography now suffers from: truth and justice.”
He remarked: “And the day will come when being a student, man or woman, of a rural normal or whatever, employee, worker, adult or elderly, will not be a reason for persecution, contempt, disappearance, death,” But for that day to arrive, we must continue.”
He stated that “if we cannot still inherit that truth and that justice to those who follow us in calendars and geographies, we can inherit to them the rage, memory and dignity necessary to not give up, not sell out and not give in.”
On behalf of the Zapatista women, men, elderly, girls and boys, he reiterated that “if we do not achieve this, there will always be a night of Iguala stalking those below, their young blood, and they will always be guilty of rebellion. If there is no truth or justice, let there be no shortage of rage and memory.”
