Front-line report of the mobilisation against the World Economic Forum in Cancun, February 26 and 27th.

NEO-LIBERAL PARADISE FOUND Theres a bus that leaves the indigenous town of Altamirano, Chiapas, near the zapatista headquarters at Morelia, that sets out for Cancun full with temporary construction workers. The workers, tseltal and tojolabal campesinos, work 6 or 7 days a week for 12 hours a day, for the paltry sum of 40 pesos a day, about $4. They labour to construct the ever expanding hotel industry of the monsterous elite tourist playground . There are over 50,000 rooms in Cancun and the average price is around $100 a night to stay.
