I'm just passing on some interviews of Porfirio Muñoz Ledo who is considered by many to be Mexico's most able (parlimentary) politician. These were recommended to me by one of the most intelligent students I've met here. Of course this is for Spanish speakers, I hope someone gets something from it. I also include a message that was passed on to me from some Zapatista students over here, it was an address read out in Oaxaca on the 1st of the month. It's below the links. I think that I helps us understand that the Zapatistas are in solidarity with what is happening in Mexico City. This goes beyond any cards being 'played'. I understand Iosaf's perspective but really what is happening in Mexico goes beyond Obrador too. I must emphasise, Obrador is not a Blair, Schroder or a Royall, and we must be careful not to draw easy comparisons. He has other defects but right now he's an important leftist leader who is defending his victory. One of most important things to remember is that Obrador is now openly calling for a revolution, something that he might not survive himself. Many of us do not vote in general elctions out of principle, and it's very easy to understand such a position, but if, out of the people that did vote then there is a winner and that winnner is robbed of his victory then surely he must be defended no? I think it is a luxury to reject parlimentary democracy on the one hand and then complain then not enough people voted in them. People have the right not to vote, and in fact in the recent election many people felt compelled to vote than before. AMLO, the Zapatistas, the teachers of Oaxaca, the people in the streets in their entirety offer a change, even more so now that Calderon, Ulises Ruiz and PAN in general will be their common enemy. It's time to debate but European cynicism is somehow out of place here right now. Anything could happen and I've never lived in such an environment. I repeat I think Iosaf is very well informed but I disagree with his view of the current situation. This is it, this is the instant, an instant to believe in and contribute something. Hahaha I must laugh at myself I feel like Peter Pan who wants to believe in Tinkerbell, hahaha, excuse me. So there's my tupence after a day's classes. I'll try and actualizarme and pass on more information, opinion, propaganda...... Fiachra te mando el link de youTube, donde ésta la entrevista de Pofirio Muñoz Ledo, esta dividida en tres partes.
