Hi all!
I'm posting a link to a news story about the social mobilization that is currently taking place in Mexico to resist the right's attempts to implement neoliberal reforms and privatize PEMEX, the state-owned oil company.

For all of you who speak Spanish, check out the website of La Jornada (Mexico's progressive newspaper) at www.jornada.unam.mx/ for updated information about the Zapatistas, the civic resistance movement against Calderon's illegitimate government, and more.
And because sometimes an image says more than a 1000 words, I'm also posting some pictures of the resistance movement that followed the fraudulent 2006 Mexican elections. Some of the pictures are mine, and some have been collected via the internet.
Peace,
Over one million people protesting at "Zocalo" Mexico City's main square
People calling Fox " traitor to democracy", 2006.
