Zapatistas on "Red Alert" in Chiapas
Autonomous Zapatista Regional Governing Councils Close for Clandestine Consultation
Perhaps in response to the mobilization of 70,000 Mexican army troops in Chiapas, the EZLN has gone on "red alert" and Zapatista governments are now operating clandestinely. The Mexican Secretary of Defense recently attempted to claim that Zapatistas were involved in narco cultivation and trafficking, but it has since come to light that the towns where marijuana plants were allegedly found are not under rebel control; on the other hand previous Mexican administrations have been caught 12 times attempting to plant contraband drugs in Zapatista territory. A June 20th Zapatista communique stated that the centers of Good Government throughout Chiapas had been closed because all Zapatistas have been called to a consultation about what steps to take.
