3 de Mayo de 2006, Ciudad de M?xico.
Hoy a las 17:55 PM hora local durante un mitin en la plaza de las tres culturas en Tlatelolco, el Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos del EZLN lanz? la alerta roja que tendr? efecto a partir de ma?ana 4 de mayo a las 8 de la ma?ana. Se cerrar?n todos los caracoles y las juntas de buen gobierno zapatistas. Se?al? que ya est? designado su sustituto en la cadena de mando del EZLN en caso de que le ocurriera algo.
Tambi?n a partir de la
misma hora se suspenden todas las actividades de La Otra Campa?a, iniciativa del EZLN que a partir del 1 de enero de 2006 realiza por todo el pa?s. El Primer Recorrido Nacional para Escuchar y Organizar Juntos La Indignaci?n.
Ello a ra?z de los violentos y sangrientos actos de represi?n ocurridos el d?a de hoy a partir de las 7 de la ma?ana por parte de los gobiernos federal y del estado de M?xico contra un grupo de vendedores de flores, miembros del Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra, adherentes a la Sexta Declaraci?n de la Selva Lacandona y a la Otra Campa?a, conocidos mundialmente por la resistencia que opusieron a la expropiaci?n de sus tierras y a la construcci?n en ellas de un aeropuerto.
El EZLN llama a todos los participantes de La Otra Campa?a a movilizarse en todo el pa?s contra estos actos de represi?n y en solidaridad con el Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra y la comunidad de San Salvador Atenco. Llama a todos los adherentes a
coordinar en sus coordinadoras regionales y sectoriales estas acciones.
La represi?n se dio el d?a de hoy contra un grupo de vendedores de flores en el palacio municipal de Texcoco. El presidente municipal se opon?a a que se instalaran en ese lugar debido a que ah? ser?a construida una tienda Wal-mart, a lo que se oponen los pobladores del lugar. El d?a anterior el mismo presidente municipal hab?a dado autorizaci?n para que expendieran ah? sus flores.
Esta ?poca del a?o se venden muchas flores, por celebrarse el d?a de la Santa Cruz, el ?D?a de las Madres? y el ?D?a del Maestro,? lo que representa un fuerte ingreso, casi el ?nico a lo largo del a?o para estos vendedores de flores.
La represi?n se escal? cuando sus compa?eros, del Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra (FPDT) asistieron a solidarizarse, bloqueando la carretera. Tras cuyo acto la polic?a Federal Preventiva y la Polic?a Estatal han estado
reprimi?ndolos durante toda la tarde. Se reporta un ni?o de 14 a?os muerto y m?s de una decena de lesionados. Al momento hay 43 miembros del FPDT detenidos.
Este acto de represi?n contra La Otra Campa?a se realiz? mientras el Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos, Delegado Zero del EZLN recorre distintas zonas de la Ciudad de M?xico y el ?rea metropolitana

May 3, 2006, Ciudad de M?xico.
Today at 5:55 Local Time At a meting at ?Plaza de las Tres Culturas? en Tlatelolco, el Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos from EZLN raised a Red Alert starting tomorrow (May 4, 2006) morning at 8:00 A. M: All Caracoles and ?Juntas del Buen Gobierno? of the EZLN, will be closing. He announced that his substitute has already been assigned amongst the ranks of the EZLN in case something happens to him.
Also, all activities of ?La Otra Campana? initiated by EZLN since January 1st 2006 around the whole Mexican country will be cancelled as well. The First National walk to listen and to organize, altogether, the righteous anger.
This cancellation is in response to the violent repression that flower growers had suffered on hands of the state and the federal government in the State of Mexico, in Mexico. The flower growers are members of ?Frente de
Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra? who are adherents to ?la Sexta Declaraci?n de la Selva Lacandona and ?La Otra Campa?a? They are well known for their resistance to the expropriation of their land and to their opposition to the construction of an airport on those lands, not long ago.
The EZLN calls to all the members of ?La Otra Campa?a? to movilize arround the country and abroad to organize against those acts of violent repression, and to support the ?Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra? and the community of San Salvador Atenco. He
calls up-on all the adherents as well.
The repression came yesterday against a group of flower growers installed to sell their products in front of the Municipal Hall in Texcoco, Mexico. The Municipal President was against such event because there are already plans to build a Wal- Mart store in thoseplaces. The peoples of the community oppose that project. Even thou the day before the municipal President had already given the permit to the flower grower to install their shops there.
This time of the year is the best time and usually the only time the growers have to make some Money. The May Celebrations: of ?Moter?s Day?, ?The Day of the Sacred Cross? and ?Teacher?s Day? give them that chance.
When their supporters from Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra (FPDT) came and block the main road the repression was unleash. Since then the Federal and the state police has been harassing and attacking them. There is one teenager dead and more than a
dozen wounded. 43 members of FPDT have been detained.
All this had occurred while Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos, Delegado Zero del EZLN visits different areas around Mexico
City and the subburbs.
