Chiapas: Close of EZLN cycle of communiques “Them and Us–Looks”

(@Agenciasubversiones)

Throughout February, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) continued publishing a series of communiques united under a common title of “Them and Us: Looks.”  Subcomandante Insurgente Moisés signed a communique for the first time (part 6): he explained the role of Subcomandante Marcos (the “window”), his (the “door”), and announced that the EZLN would invite adherents to the Sixth Declaration to the Zapatista zone: “Here we will await you from this door that it is my duty to care for, so that you enter this humble school of my comrades who want to share the little that we have learned….”

In these communiques, the Zapatistas finished defining the what and with whom of their coming actions, reporting that from now on they would be in communication only with members of the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandona Jungle, using texts with “the basic elements of the history of neo-Zapatismo.”  They announced the beginning of a “course that the Zapatista support-bases will given to comrades from the Sixth in Mexico and the world.”
