SAN ANDRES SAKAMCH'EN DE LOS POBRES AUTONOMOUS MUNICIPALITY
DISLOCATED
SAN ANDRES SAKAMCH'EN DE LOS POBRES MUNICIPAL PRESIDENT's OFFICE
DISLOCATED.
April 7, 1999.
An operation by more than 300 Public Security agents this morning
dislocated the Municipal Presidency of San Andres, which had been occupied
for more than four years by authorities elected by Zapatista Army of
National Liberation communities and sympathizers who make up the Autonomous
Municipal Council.
Following the police action - which took place without major incidents and
without anyone being detained - PRI Marco Diaz Nunez took over as
Constitutional President in front of public notary Fernando Reyes Cortes
and the Secretary for Indigenous Peoples, Gustavo Moscoso Zenteno.
The police surrounded the site at 8 AM today, accompanied by some PRI
indigenous. Only one watchman was inside the Municipal President's
facilities, and he offered no resistance to the actions of the Public
Security police. All belongings, paper work, office materials, files and 4
vehicles belonging to the Autonomous Council were siezed.
The community, which was the seat of the dialogue between the EZLN and the
Federal Government from April 20, 1995 until August of 1996 is now under
strict surveillance by Public Security police
There is widespread fear in all the Autonomous Municipalities in Chiapas
that new operations will be carried out against them.
This is the fourth attempt by the State government to dismantle the
organization of the rebel communities through their Autonomous
Municipalities. The first occurred in the community of Taniperla, Flores
Magon Autonomous Municipality, in April of 1998; followed by the Tierra y
Libertad municipality on the first of May of 1998, and, in June of the same
year, there was a military-police incursion against the San Juan de la
Libertad municipality, which left 8 indigenous assassinated.
