Throughout the entire journey were adding more and more people, the first stop was made at the University Avenue roundabout and Miguel Angel de Quevedo, where a fellow gave a few words Morelos and white balloons were released.
Around 10:50 am la marcha llegó a la Alberca Olímpica donde se
realizó la segunda parada y el Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra se integró a la movilización junto con muchos compeñerxs. En este momento el poeta Sicilia dio unas palabras explicando y presentando a lxs compañerxs de Atenco presentes, dijo que “los machetes que llevan no son un arma, sino sus herramientas de trabajo” y les dio la bienvenida. El compañero Nacho del Valle se solidarizó con el sufrimiento de Sicilia y con lxs de abajo, dijo que “tenemos un mismo objetivo: la paz en el país. No le pedimos al sistema el remedio, no le pedimos a la bestia que asesina al pueblo, sino que lo tiene que provide the people, the people organized. It is important that we use our differences to make progress, to build. That the triumph of the people is in our hands, in our fists, our voices, in our opinion ... That silence that speaks louder than words. "
During the whole course were creative samples of solidarity and protest
as a blank canvas that covered many feet above the ground which represented 20% of vegan muertxs and impunity. Performances, costumes, silhouettes. So ocmo positive slogans demanding education yes + yes + solidarity + humanity itself ... Dogs, niñxs, bikes ...
About 12:45 pm the march made its third stop at the height of shaft
central Xola, where about 300 people waiting to join the large contingent. Some slogans and banners that could see was: "Stop the war, peace, justice and dignity", "return to my family", "no + violence" our silence and our steps crying peace and justice, "which them all "," only the social struggle can change the world "live Cerro San Pedro, San Javier mine die," a flower for sadness, a chain of injustice, a scaffold for hope, "" the right to live is not begging, we take "," enforced disappearance perfect crime, "not the state narco-paramilitary", "this silent scream excitement," this does not is war is a business "," no blood + animal "," praying at the Vatican and murder in Mexico "," we live to all women, no more femicide, do not believe in its laws, "Calderón surrender!" "But Arms + culture."
Sara Lobera journalist, feminist activist desde hace muchos años, aprovechaba la espera para pedir comentarios sobre el lema de la marcha, ese “estamos hasta la madre” que para muchas compañeras feministas supone una expresión más del lenguaje sexista que está presente incluso en las movilizaciones contra la represión y la violencia. También comentaba con preocupación que 663 mujeres están desaparecidas y que hace falta que los medios masivos, que en esta ocasión intentaban acceder a toda costa para sacar la mejor foto y mejor plano de Sicilia (que resultaba en todo momento inaccesible por el cordón de seguridad ciudadano que tuvieron que hacer para que avanzara la marcha) hicieran un periodismo más consciente y veraz que sirva para que la población be kept informed.
The march continued to advance on central axis to the height of Fray Servando, where grazing was another climbing event 15h. At that point he found the march organized by the Other Campaign, which had begun to roam the streets at 13h from the Monument to the Revolution, through Secretary of State. This another march was accompanied by about 1000 adherents, under different slogans and concerns, joined the peace march. This quota led a large banner with the slogan "Stop the war in Calderón" and participating organizations such as Friends and Family Mariano Ramos, MULT, UNOPII, Cheran (Michoacán), community policing, Red against repression, The Other Querétaro, La Otra Campaña Hidalgo and Tlaxcala, support committee Ñomndaa Radio and many and many comrades from individuals and groups and individuals .
The quota for the Other Campaign joined the central place and the tour continued to the surrounding streets that lead to the Zocalo where quotas were divided among Madero, May 5 and other streets were completely crowded. Already in the socket, which for the whole morning was full and where he expected a large SME blanket that said "Welcome", began the rally. First words of Sicily, which he called the president of the country for forcing the resignation Secretary of Public Safety and civil disobedience if the demands are not met expressed. Among other things, spoke of the massive presence of the army in the streets does not guarantee the safety of people and then blame those who run the country's state of insecurity and violence in which each and all of us are, saying it will not vote to accept any more if you do not change the situation. In his own words: "These cases highlight the fact that political parties, the PAN, the PRI, PRD, PT, Convergence, New Covenant, the Beehive, Green, have become a 'party of which emanate from the leadership ranks of the nation. In all there are links with crime and gangs along and across the nation. Without an honorable cleaning its ranks and a total commitment to ethics policy, citizens will have to ask at the next election why cartel and why we will have real power to vote? "
Then followed the words of Olga Patricia Duarte Reyes and had read the document that attempts to strike a deal with the state and summons him to meet within three months eight of the most emblematic cases of violence that have lived in Mexico: the murder of the son of Sicilia, Juan Francisco, and six other young people March 27 near Cuernavaca, the death of 15 young people at a party in Salvarcar Villas in Ciudad Juarez in January 2010, the murder of six family members of human rights activist Josefina Reyes Salazar, the murder of two members of the Mennonite family Le Baron in 2009 in Chihuahua, Ruby Frayre murder in 2008 and his mother, Marisela Escobedo when he asked for justice on Dec. 16, 2010, death of activist against the femicide in Ciudad Juarez Susana Chavez in January, the deaths of Betty Love and Jiri Finnish Jakaaloa in Oaxaca in an ambush against human rights activists in April last year, and finally, the death of 49 children in a fire in the nursery ABC in 2009. The pact was signed (in case of a positive response from the government) on June 10 in Ciudad Juarez.
After this, the words of different organizations were heard in the Zocalo to 19h, at which time dissolved the very long journey that collapsed in Mexico City.
could comment on many things about this place. We can discuss the massive presence on the streets, tens of thousands of people jamming Central Axis. We highlight words written protest in blankets, posters, bodies, prints. We can make mention of the solidarity we experienced throughout the tour, as he never lacked food and water donated to people and we were marching. But eventually all be summed up in a clear message: people are tired of how this country is being governed. Tired of the daily violence and irrational. Now we just need all those people that ran angry and silent streets of the City and other cities, you realize that outward Genaro Calderon García Luna will not really change the situation, what is needed is a radical break with the current political structure that gives this much desired peace Mexico.
