*San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chis.* The Zapatista Army of National
Liberation (EZLN
<https://www.jornada.com.mx/noticia/2026/08/09/estados/al-sistema-capitalista-se-le-enfrenta-con-comunidad-dice-moises-del-ezln>),
affirmed that one of the main objectives of the delegation that will travel
in December to Mexico City is to meet with the groups of seekers and
seekers, “not only to listen to them and become an echo of their demand for
truth and justice, but to give them the collective embrace of the Zapatista
peoples and communities” and with it “try to let them know at least a
little of how much we admire them, we respect them.”

He added that the one of the seekers is “the most important, greatest
movement in dignity, more heroic and consistent of these times in Mexico
and Central America”, that “with everything against, do not resign
themselves in the fight for their absences.”

In a statement read Sunday by Deputy Commander Moses during the activities
of the meetings of arts and resistances and rebellions that take place in
the Caracol de Morelia, he said that another of the objectives of his
presence in the capital of the country during December “is to meet with
groups, collectives, movements and organizations of the Sixth in Mexico
City and its surroundings to be able to agree activities and to see the
possibilities of a second stage of this chapter of the Tour of the Country.”

He added: “We think that, while we are there in Mexico City, we could carry
out some actions to relaunch the Sixth in the geography they call
‘Mexico’”, in addition to that “one of the many ideas we have, is a
march-manifestation with the flag of ‘all struggles and a common demand:
truth and justice for absences’.”

The EZLN reported that “in order that we may meet with all the groups of
search for their absences, without distinction of geography, calendar,
color, race, language, religious belief, history and political sympathy,
who wish, we have asked the Center for Human Rights Fray Bartolomé de Las
Casas (Frayba), who, with the support of the Network All Rights for All,
the Pro and the various non-governmental organizations of defense of human
rights, have asked the Human Rights Center Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas
(Frayba), which, with the support of the All Rights for All Network, the
Pro and the various non-governmental organizations of defense of human
rights

“The Frayba has responded positively to our request and has opened a
special email for groups, collectives, collectives, movements and
organizations committed to finding truth and justice for their absences,
from Mexico and Central America, propose the dates on which they could meet
us in Mexico City, during the month of December of this year of 2026.”

Likewise, “that they establish if they need any type of support for lodging
and food in the time they stay in Mexico City. We are sure that individual
people, groups, collectives, collectives, movements and organization of the
Sixth and signatories of the Declaration for Life, will be generous, but,
if not, the Zapatista delegation of the Mexico Life-Chapter Tour is ready
to share ceiling and food with you. Even to reduce the Zapatista contingent
so that there is no one to run out of temporary accommodation.”

He said that “assuming, without granting, that someone, any, *some* person,
group, collective, movement or organization wants to support financially
for the transfers of the Zapatista delegation, the companions, companions
*compañeroas*of the collective ‘Arrived the Hour of the Peoples’ (who had a
prominent performance on the occasion of the pre-candidacy of the companion
of the CNI, Marichuy), have opened an account where they can deposit or
transfer what they have The data is: BBVA Bank. Account number:
-1577840961- CLABE Interbank: -012540015778409612, in the name of Alicia
Castellanos Guerrero”.

He abounded: “We give all possible data so that the ineffable and
unspeakable Secretariat of the Interior, always ready to unmask the
‘strange enemy’ (já), does not battle to answer the question that most
distresses him, namely, ‘who the hell financially supports the
mobilizations below and the left? The disappearances? Bah, those are not on
the agenda with the gringos.’”

Moreover, he said, “we are ready to call a rally in front of the Federal
Interior Secretariat and invite all the people who have contributed in some
way to make the Zapatista embrace a reality to those who seek truth and
justice” and thus, that dependence “will not need to distract resources in
investigating those who demand truth and justice and can dedicate
themselves, now yes, to seek all the disappeared people. And to present
them alive.”

Or, perhaps, the EZLN continued, “at least it serves to make you realize up
there that Mexico is not, fortunately, the 4T. It is something greater,
more powerful, with more historical roots of struggle, resistance,
rebellion and dignity. Four words: struggle, resistance, rebellion and
dignity, whose meaning does not know the 4T”, because “to their regret and
friendships that accompany them up there (with ‘A’), the geography called
‘Mexico’ will transcend them, survive and prevail.” He called on the
people, groups, collectives, movements and organizations of the Sixth and
signatories of the Declaration for Life, to meet, discuss, promote and
propose activities for this trip.
