We hear that there is going to be a negotiation with the state and federal government and autonomous self-defense groups in order to accord the legalization of the self-defense groups. We head to Tepacaltepec where the meeting is to be held. The scene is surreal to say the least, but so is eve...

Fotos: Juan José Estrada Serafín
Atrás queda una municipalidad de Michoacán que los medios masivos equivocan al ubicar en Tierra Caliente, en realidad nos encontramos en la Sierra Madre Sur Occidental. Nos avisan que hay una negociación entre el gobierno federal y estatal, y los grupos de autodefensa. Tomamos rumbo a Tepalcatepec, donde la reunión tendrá lugar. La escena es surreal, pero esto ya no nos sorprende porque todo en Michoacán es surreal estos días.
En lo qu...

Fraud in Honduran Elections − An Eyewitness Account 
As an election observer in Honduras, it is painful and disappointing to hear the U.S. ambassador make a statement on election night praising the transparency and fairness of the election process in Honduras. In the days before the November 24 election, I was part of a delegation that visited different communities in struggle for social justice. There we heard accounts of intimidation and vote buying in attempts to coerce the people to vote for the right-wing presidential candidate Juan Orlan...
