Why Corporations Want Chiapas

Direct from Chiapas, Gustavo Castro Soto will discuss why Coca-Cola, Monsanto, Bayer and many more are risking confrontations with the Zapatistas in Chiapas;
what these corporations are doing and what they want.

Gustavo Castro Soto is a sociologist, researcher and co-director at the Center for Economic and Political Research for Community Action (CIEPAC) in San Crostobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. CIEPAC’s political and economic research provides the basis for popular education workshops and assemblies in communities throughout the state of Chiapas. It also provides analysis of the current issues throughout Mexico and Mesoamerica.
