The Zapatistas have announced a red alert and activation of all EZLN forces throughout Mexico. The announcement came after police brutality in the nearby city of Texcoco (forwarded from otherpolitics@lists.riseup.net)

The Zapatistas have announced a red alert and activation of all EZLN
rebel forces throughout Mexico. The announcement came after news of a
police riot underway in the nearby city of Texcoco, where 800 heavily
armed riot cops stormed the local flower growers' market in the dawn's
early light, leading to a violent nationally televised standoff between
the firearms of above and the worktools of below. By the afternoon —
after "Delegate Zero" traveled through downtown Mexico City by foot, by
subway and by motorcycle, through its most working-class neighborhoods,
listening to the grievances of the people — he exploded in the Plaza of
the Three Cultures: The Zapatistas have gone on Red Alert, the Other
Campaign is suspended, and the zapatistas are heading to the scene of
the crime to confront the Mexican State.

Below is a ruff translation of an announcement issued by Teniente
Coronel Insurgente Moises, followed by the original Spanish text. The
announcement calls for protests at all Mexican consulates tomorrow, May
4 at 8 am.

Zapatista supporters in New York City have called for a larger
mobilization at the Mexican Consulate for Friday, May 5, at 12:30 noon.

Teniente Coronel Insurgente Moises.
Today we enter in red alert.
Our comrades at Texcoco were attacked near San Salvador Atenco, in
Mexico City, near the place where Subcomandante insurgente Marcos was
reciding for the last few days.

We are calling for a national and international mobilization against the
Fox government, tomorrow, April 4 at 8 am. at all Mexican embacies.

Up until now, we do not know how many people have been detained or
killed because our comrades have had to confront the force of the bad
government. Our comrades defended themselves.

Stay tunned to the news, comrades.

Perhaps we will see each other.
