Twelve years after New Year's morning,1994, when the Zapatista Army of National Liberation appeared in San Cristobal de Las Casas and other Chiapas communities, Marcos has now announced "The Other Campaign."It began, once more, in San Cristobal de las Casas January 1st, 2006.
The masked Marcos, today known as “Delegado Zero” in a sense, lives off the land, that is to say, strictly and only on the support of the simple and humble people of each state.
The discussions for the main points that now guide “The Other Campaign” started July 2005, and became official the following September.
The roots of these proposals emerge “from below,” from excluded territories and people, growing from and for the left, with peace, civilian power, and anti-capitalist actions.
The Zapatista Army of National Liberation now mobilizes throughout the country with street people, artists, independent media, homosexuals, lesbians, transsexual and transgender, feminists, human rights organizations, political prisoners, and individuals.
All exploitation, expulsion and oppression is on display, all contempt and depravation is manifested and exposed.
